Actually my very first job at 15 years old was a nurses aide in a convalescent hospital. Since I had no grandparents I automatically fell in love with my patients. I would read to them , paint one ladies nail. And just love on them. My life took me to all different careers but in the last 3 years caring for my 81 year young father, that love for the elderly has been reignited. My father is doing well and I care part time for him. He always told us if you do what you love you will never work a day in your life. I have finally found my passion. Care giving is the most rewarding job I have found and I will spend the rest of my working career do just that. After the loss of my only child I have learned life is about loving the people that come into our lives. That is what I seek to do every day in his memory.
