I became a care giver to help those who are unable to help themselves,ever since I was a child I always wanted to work in healthcare.my parents had a difficult time finding a home for my grandparents when they became I'll,I saw the struggles they went through ,and I want to be able to allow families the choice to hire a private care giver,not just have to go right to nursing home. I'm not saying nursing homes aren't a good choice but having a private care taker allows the family to have more of a one on one relationship.and also the consumer does not have to move out of their home which can be a difficult transition on both the family and the loved ones.i enjoy the feeling that I get knowing I am making a difference in that persons life.one of my personal achievements is teaching people how to read which is something I do on my spare time.i have two children both girls ages 16 and 9 and I thank god everyday for they are my heart and soul.
