I am compassionate, upbeat, trustworthy and can adjust on a dime. I am also a good friend. I have been a caretaker for someone with bipolar disorder, Louis-body dementia and another that was paralyzed by a stroke. As a caretaker I had to shower them and dress them as well as prepare meals and assist feeding them as well as get them out for walk or a drive to enjoy life a little. That is important if they are able. I can't help but be moved to compassion because I can't imagine losing my independence. I studied occupational therapy in college and had to volunteer, So I chose to work with the elderly. It was so rewarding to see them smile. Ever since then I have had caregiving jobs off and on. What I enjoy most about caregiving is knowing they are well cared for. I have built a bonds with those I've cared for. I am proud of my boys. They are my best achievement and continue to blow me away with the people they are becoming.
