I moved in Seattle in 2004 and lived with my uncle and his family that were managing an Adult Family Home and cared for elderly. I soon started to help and became more confident in my abilities. After 8 months i received my first job . At 24 years old i felt proud, i was dependable, i was also a young mother and knew that i was responsable for the safety and wellbeing of six seniors. I understood the responsability but also observed the way it feels to me. I was completely fulfilled and after 14 years in caregiving i know this is what i love to do since i never considered a change in profession that will bring me more joy and be a better fit for my personality. Caring for seniors in the comunity is to me such a an honor and privelage.
