My mother got me interested in being a Caregiver when I was younger. She would take me with her to do Meels On Wheels. I particularly remember the look on their faces upon opening the door and seeing it was my mother. It was a look of excitement; as if they're seeing a friend they haven't seen in ages. It's definitely a job that requires passion and patience, in my opinion. But at the same time it is also rewarding. I love helping others in any way that I can when they are in need and I think that plays a part as to why I love caregiving. To tell a little about myself, I am from up North (Ohio area) and Moved down South in 2001. And boy was that the best decision I've ever made, as they say, you don't see anyone moving up North to retire (even though, I'm not of age to retire). They also say Florida is the "Sunshine State" but I believe it to be SC. Then... they say believe nothing you hear and half of what you see, lol. I'm dependable, honest, compassionate, funny, charasmatic and intelligent. I live life to the fullest and see good in everyone. I love the beach in the summer and the mountains in the winter. I have a soft heart for animals and if I was to ever win the lottery not only would I STILL care for your loved one but I would open my own Humane Society/Animal Rescue and Orphanage.
