Lillian K.

My daughter was born in 2001 with a very rare disorder which threw me into a unexpected situation of intensive care stays, surgeries, caring for many medical conditions, learning from doctors and was trained by nurses to care for my daughter so she would not have to live at Childrens Hospital. I learned and was able to care for my child, some things very difficult on many levels. My father is a retired orthepedic sugeon and Dr and my mother was a surgical nurse . They call me \"Dr Mom\". I take this as a very big compliment with their backgrounds. My daughters experiece has made me realize I lost my calling in the medical field. I am looking to do something flexible and give care I feel I am good at. I am looking to do this because I enjoy it. I am told over and over I should seek some type of employment in this field because I am \"so nice\". I can say I have a big heart and I enjoy family, my kids, helping others. I am not able at this time to work full-time as I have older kids and schedules with them but I am looking for the right opportunity to help others and in turn feel I am giving back in life. It makes me feel good to help others and make a difference in someone else life with companionship. I am not looking to do heavy house work but don't mind doing some simple chores.

I became a caregiver after a family friend asked me to become a caretaker for her brother in 2015. That was a major blessing that has taken me on a different path in life. I worked with him for two years until he was moved to an adult family home, then I worked at an assisted living facility, and with homecare agencies. I enjoy working with people and being of help to others. I am available for fill in shifts. My Covid vaccination is up to date.
