I became a caregivers after my great grandmother passed and my family didn't have enough money to put her in a memory care or home. We had to do everything ourselves. That experience open my eyes to how although do not have the care and support they need for their families and love ones. And I felt if I can help one person in doing the best I can to make them happy by helping to give a shower, makeup their bed or helping to feeding them, than part of my job on earth is done. The most I have enjoyed from being a caregiver is being a part of someone family. Helping another person feel better about their love one and making them understand that we are a family and team and above all we are in this together. Just letting the family of a resident know that they are not alone is my greatest achievement. I am a student of Tarrant county' college in Hurst Texas. I'm trying to get get a degree in nursing. I have worked with Autumn leaves memory care for about two years.
