Married with 4 adult children and 9 grandchildren. Born and raised in Pittsburgh pa. I was groomed into this field by my grandmother. She was the youngest and only girl of 7. My grandmother migrated from the south a town called Little Rock Arkansas. My grandmother didn't believe in nursing homes unless they were absolutely necessary. Every time one of her Brothers came close to death, they would come to Pittsburgh we all take care of them in shifts. My grandmother had 13 grandchildren and we all did our part to take care of her brothers. Each and every one of them. I didnt like it at first , I was only 14, but through time...I have grown to love taking care of people. This is one of the most rewarding jobs you could have. My grandmother has gone on to glory but she left a great legacy. And it lives in all of her children and grandchildren.
