Palliative Care Caregivers in Point Comfort - 3 caregivers found

Caregiving made an impact in my life when my Uncle and Great Grandmother needed help in the last phase of their life. Both at different times came to stay at my home as I tended to their daily needs until passed. Seeing the happiness a little help from a smiling face brought them is something that brings tears to my eyes to this very day. I am a mother to a 5 year old special needs daughter as well. Her daily needs must be met in a more specific way than others. From a very young age caring for those around me has always been a part of my life, and I'd like to make a difference in your daily life as well.

I have a happy, bubbly personality. I love to laugh and have fun. I cared for my mother for 2 years. She was completely blind so I cared for her 24/7.
