Being a caregiver is in my bloodline 85 percent of the women in my family are caregivers or in the medical field I felt it was my calling because I like helping people. So I decided to give the field a try. At first it was a little challenging but I got through it now it like second nature to me helping taking care of people. What I love most about being a caregiver is the knowledge you get when take care of patients such as their personal life, and how they cope with the illness. I also like the fact that I help someone get back to their regular life after an illness. I am a passionate person when it come to something I believe in. I don't believe in quitting and give up. I also have my background check from New York City Police Headquarters.
