I became a caregiver because of my nephew, he has CP and is partially blind he's completely dependent and as a young girl I helped my sister take care of him so when she became ill I took over and when she passed and they took him away I felt lost doing anything else I enjoy taking care of people it just feels right . What I like most about being a caregiver is mattering to somebody even if it's just to change their sheets it mattered to somebody. A proud moment of mines is when I over came my sisters death I was on a fast spiral downwards and I thought I'd never breath right without her. I am 24 years old, I have no kids or any other obligations. I love to make people smile and comfortable around me. I like dogs and cats. I love children. I can cook. I'm about the happiest person you'll meet
