I became a caregiver after witnessing my grandmother care for my grandfather with Lou Gehrig's disease. She could have used the extra support and helping hands and at a young age I could only do so much. I have wanted to be a caregiver ever since. I love being a caregiver and developing a relationship with my clients. They aren't just a job, they become family and friends and it's beyond rewarding to see their face light up when you walk in to greet them. After working with the developmentally disabled community for five years I obtained my CNA license and plan on furthering my education in Nursing. Five years later I have since obtained experience in nursing homes and for the past 3 years have been providing in home private care. I am the mother of ten year old twins and they are my world. They know mommy goes to work to help her friends.
