I became a caregiver for elderly at 18. I choose to because growing up I didn't have my grandparents around I didn't know what it felt like just to be around them. So I started being a caregiver at 18 an loved it the moment I started. What I love most about being a caregiver is I can look at them as my own grandparents have talks walks etc. with them hear there stories etc. I am a funny person I love board games talking about funny times and just loving life I am full of energy person that always wears a smile. I also babysit kids as young as 6 weeks
