Elizabeth B.

I became a Caregiver after looking after elderly relatives and friends over a few years. I saw how many elderly were losing connection with people and not able to do the things they had loved doing for so many years. I wanted to help them keep connected and able to still do things to give them a reason to look forward to their days and weeks ahead. I gave up my full time Engineer job, which was very satisfying, but didn't really help anyone but myself, so that I could make a difference in the lives of others. I enjoy being able to help in the day to day things we take for granted, that older folk have started to struggle with. It makes me feel valued, trusted and makes my day worth while, knowing I am making other peoples day easier and giving them the ability to cope and stay in their own home. A personal achievement I am proud of, is that I drove freight trains for several years. I am a person that has a good sense of humor and enjoys helping others. I enjoy making people feel valued and special. I look for the positive things in people and life, and I am always seeking to encourage those I interact with. I grew up in England, I am married with two wonderful adult children and a very supportive husband.
