I have been in the caregiver roll for many of years. I began caring for my grandmother after she had surgery when I was younger. I always knew I wanted to work in the medical field in some capacity. Over the years I have continued to care for my grandmother well being a stay at home mother. Once my kids were old enough I got back into the work field I started off at the hospital cleaning operating rooms. That was great I was still missing something and that was the direct care of others. That's when I started working for in home health care. I love being able to help others and make their days as bright as can be.
