Hi! I'm Dacie Hagglund. I've always been drawn to helping others and being a caretaker. My background in education makes me a good fit for care taking as I can help others of varying needs, help people work toward their goals, whatever those may be, and can listen and learn quickly. I was a teacher for 10 years and recently left. I am drawn toward being a caregiver because I believe I can make a difference in peoples' lives and help them enjoy their days. I enjoy seeing people light up when doing something they love or from simply telling me about what they love. I am very proud of myself for getting my bachelors degree in early childhood and elementary education as well as two masters degrees, one in elementary education and one in special education. I loved teaching but things have changed a lot, I had a huge caseload, and it was stressful. There was always a lot of things to do with not enough time to do them in. I enjoy teaching and working with students in a small group setting. I left teaching after the 22-23 school year and was fortunate enough to get to help take care of my friend's grandparents. I loved helping them and getting to know them over the 5 months that I was their caregiver. I would not have had that opportunity if I didn't leave teaching so I truly think everything happened for a reason. They needed help and wanted to have someone they knew, which is where I came in. :) I recently also helped my father recover from 2 different knee replacements. I was able to help him in Nov/Dec and most recently March/April. He had total knee replacements and I helped with his medications, physical therapy, recovery, cooking, cleaning etc.
