I became a caregiver because I have been around the health field my entire life. My mom has worked in Nursing Homes all my life and I would always go in and visit the elderly, so when I got old enough to be able to work in this environment, I decided to try it out. I have loved it from the very beginning. I really enjoy the feeling of accomplishment when you are able to assist someone with a task they have difficulty with themselves. Visiting with the elderly and listening to all the stories they have to tell is so rewarding, getting to know someone that well is so great. I am from South Dakota and have lived in Minnesota for about 2.5 years. I love to cook and read. I am very outgoing and easy to get along with.
