About a year and a half ago my great grandfather became ill. He was my rock my whole life and to see him hurt really hurt me. I was 7 months pregnant at high risk so I was on maternity leave. The family talked and decided that I be his caregiver with the help of hospice twice a week. I was there until his last breath and that's what inspired me to become a caregiver and eventually I want to be a hospice nurse. I am now working part time for a company and looking for more hours to support my daughter as a single mother. I enjoy this work because my main goal is to treat the patient as I did my sweet Papa.
