My mother was diagnosed diabetic 7 years ago as well as my older brother and they deal with a lot because of that. We have always had each other to help in times of need and it's taught me a lot. My grandmother was also a caregiver for many years and I got to join her multiple times in helping take care of some of her clients. I've always liked helping people and I think I would be a lot of help to someone who deals with breathing issues, or anything that required medications or monitoring. I'm very personable and organized. I do not have a weak stomach. I'm also very familiar with a lot of diabetic procedures. I've helped family members with breathing machines and before my grandfather passed from cancer I would help him a lot with day to day needs like grocery shopping, organizing mail, etc.
