I am a loving and caring individual who loves to help others. All my life I have provide care to various family members. My grandpa had asthma and I was there to give him treatments when he needed it. Then my great grandparents when they needed care, when my grandmothers both developed cancer I stepped in to help care for them. One grandmother had a colostomy bag. I was taught how to irrigate and replace the bag. My son had asthma as a baby and had lots of allergies. I researched and learned to cook different for his sake. When my Dad developed cancer I stopped working and started helping my mom care for him. Now my Mom needs care so now I am stepping up to take care of her. I feel like that I made life easier on my loved ones by being their caregiver. The fact that I am helping others is why I enjoy being a caregiver. That is the main reason I choose to work in the Head Start Program, especially the Early Head Start Program. My personal achievements that I am proud of with the little ones is that I helped them to learn to walk when they were behind and worked to teach one baby to turn it's head. The one personal achievement I am proud of the most is when my Mom was having trouble raising her arms and I helped her improve mobility. I researched Chair Yoga that would help her. Then I joined her in getting the Yoga done. She had trouble at first, but working through it over time she improved.
