I'm 39 years old and I enjoy gardening, doing nails, cooking and art. I have 2 teenagers, my son is 16 and my daughter is 18. I have always had a passion for taking care of seniors. When I was a child, probably 6, I learned that the old lady that lived across the street I thought was just a school teacher, was actually an escapee of Bonnie and Clyde. I would go sit with her everyday. And when I was 10 I started taking care of her because I noticed the ladies that were there were stealing from her and not giving her proper hygiene cleaning or feeding her well. I took care of her until I was 16. Then her family has come to stay with her because she was fading away. But there were other elderly on my street I cared for growing up. And they are the reason I am so drawn to caring for the elderly. I enjoy sitting and talking to the people I care for. They are wise and they have many stories. And they love to tell everything they've been through and learned. They truly care about people and their well-being. I see caregiving as a type of gratitude and I enjoy doing crafts or anything with them. I like to make them feel good about themselves. I am not a perfect person. No one is. We all make bad choices and go through hard struggles in life. Personally, I am proud of myself for all I've overcome. I have come a long way. Not every day is easy but every day is conquered. So many people judge others before they hear their story. The love of the elderly and their willingness to accept and trust in a stranger to come in and care for them is overpowering in my mind. They demonstrate the kind of love we should have for one another, whether they be a stranger or not and I admire them for that and so much more.
