I become a caregiver when my father was down with the end stage of renal failure due to diabetes. It was then that I realized the important care we must give to our elderly in their twilight years. I feel immeasurable happiness in giving our time and the utmost care to them. I feel elated when they make me a part of their family and show appreciation in every move I take . I have been doing caregiving job since 1992, on and off due to call of motherhood and grandmotherhood. I took personal care aide course in Virginia Beach and worked with Genesys Home Healthcare and SeniorCorp but moved here in NY. I am compassionate and genuinely give my best for this job. I have been awarded outstanding employee in SeniorCorp.
