About Dawn

I've been told that I'm a great caregiver because I enjoy helping others it comes natural, from the heart. I'm patient and understanding to their needs and can be a great friend as well. I became a caregiver after my grandmother passed away in 2006 and realized my grandfather was lonely when he started coming to my house often. About a year later I stepped back from my busy life and looked at his. Someone else taking care of him wasn't an option to me when he has me the oldest female grandchild who was also raised by my grandparents. I found myself helping a few of the seniors on our street over the past years since just by sitting on the porch with them often making sure if they need help changing clothes or washing I was there to help because a few of the woman had sons and grandsons but didn't feel comfortable with them helping in certain areas. When going grocery shopping I would pick up little things they liked such as fruits and pies or any groceries they needed just to see them smile.
