I have always enjoyed taking care of others. I had a home daycare for 16 years, registered with the state of Texas. I have worked off and on for several years doing home health with agencies ad well as private families. I have also worked at the Mexia State School. Now, I work at the local highschool as a paraeducation aide in the life skills class. At all of these jobs I have worked with both well individuals and individuals with mental and or physical handicaps. For the last 3 years I have been the caregiver for my grandma who suffers from dementia.
