I love being a caregiver because I was raised up under my grandparents. Being there to help them and being in church to help all of the elders and ones in need was everything to me. I feel like if you can help someone that can not help themselves why not? I understand it's hard for some to even cope with the fact that they can't do for themselves. We should be there to smile and help. What I enjoy most is being able to lift someone's spirit on days they feel like they didn't want to get out of bed. I've learned being in this field you have to have a heart for it. I love it and always have.
