At the age of 14 while attending high school in my home country Jamaica, my grandfather had several strokes. He was paralyzed on the right side. I had to wear two hats during that period. I was a student and I became one of his untrained home care providers. I would give him bed baths and feed him in the mornings before school and the same was done during the afternoon after school. I did this for three years before he passed away. I was a very kind jovial and compassionate but caring for him boosted these character traits. I made him as comfortable as possible and gave the best care I could. With all the knowledge that I have from the school I've attended to become a CHHA I now know that I gave him care that would've been approved by my supervisor if had one at the time. I loved caring for him because I knew the man he was and how he must feel not being able to do for himself as he would normally do. That's the mindset I take when caring for my clients. I see them as who they are and were; when they were able to. I use every opportunity as a learning or teachable moment. I love working with the elderly for several reasons- you learn great deal from them as they have amazing stories and facts, we're relatable as I'm an old soul- but the main reason is that Im loved by them. Maybe it's because I smile a great deal and laugh at some of the silliest thing or my kind spirit. I've have been working as a CHHA for over three years and all the individuals I've had the opportunity to work with adored me.
