Let me start by saying I love what i do for a living. I became a caregiver about 8 years ago. Both my girls had graduated and was no longer living at home I missed caring for them so this job not only filled that void but has been a tremendous blessing to me. One of my favorite things is getting my resident up giving them a bath getting them dressed and fixing their hair and of coarse making them smell good. I also love singing and im always playing music when i work on a memory unit. the music always puts them in a great mood and lits of times they start singing and really enjoying them selves. im often asked why i didnt go further my education and my answer is always the same because i truly love what i do.
