I am 37 years old. My mom has been a nurse my entire life, along with many other members of my extended family. I have been interested in caregiving for as long as I can remember. I am also a mother so you can say that caregiving comes naturally!! I have cared for many patients over the years & have formed many special bonds with them. I have always been able to relate more with the older generation than with people my own age!!
