What attracted me to being a caregiver I use to help my grandmother nurse when she was sick and in Oct, 2014 I became a companion for two years I then became a pca and graduated from the agency I worked for since then I'm working with another agency. I have a very outgoing personality and everytime I go to a client house they want me to come back I love being a caregiver because I get to listen to stories the clients tell and I just love being around them to help with there everyday needs. Im very proud to say I made it a long way from working in foodservice for 5 years to being in the health field now.
