I became a caregiver because I care about the elderly. I feel their concerns and want them to enjoy the time they have left, not worry about who is going to be there for them. I understand that getting older is difficult and often unpleasant. The transition to needing care can be discouraging as well, so I work hard at being patient and kind in my approach, letting them know I am there to encourage and uplift their concerns. One of my personal achievements is that I have written 3 books and have had them all published. Writing is one of my passions. My greatest desire is to offer encouragement and hope to other people, using my own life experiences about emotional healing and health in hopes that they might experience God's amazing grace. I am a kind affectionate person who cares about the thoughts and feelings of other people. I think this one thing makes me a great caregiver.
