Almost a decade ago my Mother passed and my elderly father with Alzheimer's came to live with me. I gave up my career and for the next 8 years I cared for Dad. I learned so much; patience, understanding, the health care system. Since my Dad's passing last year I've had several opportunities to be a caregiver for members of our church and found that I enjoyed it. I have a very up beat personality and seem to be able to connect and put people at ease. Being a caregiver is so rewarding but also exhausting. I know first hand how important self care is. I'm hoping that I will be able to give some family a reprieve, knowing that their loved one will be cared for. My greatest personal achievement was going back to college at 35 with a husband in the Air Force , two kids and a full time job. My youngest was diagnosed with bipolar. Seems I've always been a caregiver. I hope to have the opportunity to come along side you and help with your family.
