I grew up with a grandmother who suffered from mental illness and then from dementia as she got older. I always enjoyed the time I spent with her regardless of her disabilities. I enjoyed helping her make her day easier and putting a smile on her face. After she passed away I found that I had this emptiness I wanted to fill with helping others. I worked in a facility for awhile and decided the companionship was lost in policies and wanted to try in home care instead and fell in love. I enjoy hearing stories of peoples past, and helping them accomplish little things that put a big smile on their faces. I have decided to follow this calling of helping people by continuing my education and becoming a nurse. Through the classes I am taking I had to get a background check so I don't have one on here but have one and it's clean!
