1) My career in photo labs had all but disappeared. My friends told me a career in home care was growing. So i went to school to get a license as a CNA/HHA. 2) It's great to help people stay in their own homes and feel comfortable that there is someone to take care of their needs. 3) That a 90 yr old man, who did not want a caregiver, finally accepted me, and i worked with him for 3 years, before he passed. 4) i have just returned to the Skagit valley after 14yrs in California. i miss the NW. I enjoy the camping, the abundance of water, and my old friends and family.
