One of my first jobs was in a senior home care facility where I was the cooks aide. I enjoyed helping people with their orders, providing meals or condiments that made their meals enjoyable. However, my experience with the care facility made me decide that if at all possible when my parents needed care I would try and keep them in their own home as long as possible. Throughout my life I have had experience with home caregiving, or patients recovering after surgeries. I truly enjoy knowing that all people at any age want to be treated with respect and to live their life with dignity. Knowing that I can provide quality care and companionship makes my life more meaningful! One of my proudest achievements was when I worked three years for a gentleman who was 74, taking care of his 93 year old mom in their home. The son was able to go on trips with peace of mind that his mom's well being was in capable hands. With my assistance his mom was able to attend Red Hat Society functions, keep her house in the order she was accustomed to, and provide her daily bathing, dressing, and grooming routine.
