What would make me a great caregiver is that (and It may sound like a cliche) I actually care. It all started when I was 16 years of age In my first foster home and my foster parents (now my grandmom and pop) were elderly...say 80 and 60. They took me in and treated me like a realy kindred (son/grandson) while I was still in the system and aged out at 18 years old in State of PA, Philadelphia they had an option of kicking me on/in the streets or still allowing me to stay in their home and assist me on my feet. They were help molding me into a man and as popop was on Dialysis I was aiding them in household duties. As popop past away and grandmom and I are still alive we are all going our course and now I grow to enjoy taking care of individuals in need, specially families, loved ones.
