About Jessica

I took care of my Step-mother who has Arthritis very bad. She was always having joint pains & could barley get out of bed some days. So I moved in with her in 2013, and started helping her out with daily tasks. Showering, nail clippings, cooking breakfast, lunch & dinner. Made sure all her dishes were cleaned after. Made sure she took her medication when needed. I drove her to & from appointments or errands she needed to run. I'm very glad I met my step-mom, because after taking care of her for a year, it made me realize I wanted to be in the Medical field. I'm a very patient person, and I love to learn. I feel like I can never ask to many questions, and I can never stop learning. I took care of my little sister growing up, and that always made me more interested in caring for someone else rather than myself. I knew I was put on this earth to be a caregiver of some type, because there's days I go without eating just to make sure everyone else was fed and taken care of.
