I have been taking care of people for as long as I could remember.. In 06 I lost my grandmother from cancer, she passed away at home but before passing me and my oldest sister also my mother took care of her the best that we do have to. I know how to deal with colostomy bags I'm not afraid to take care of my residents or patients because that is my job. Awesome about the few months after my grandma passed away her youngest son which is my uncle is going blind and was missing limbs it was unable to take care of himself so later in 06 I moved in with him and I had to care of him I graduated high school in 2012. Into thousand and 13 I finally got my first job as a caregiver uncertified at an assisted living. I loved my job and I worked there for 14 months. It takes a special person to take care of another human being who is unable to do for themselves and I'm grateful that I get the opportunity to be one of those people to help them.
