I became a caregiver at a young age around 15/16 taking care of my grandmother, professionally i started at 18 off and on. My last client, i was with for five years and he became my best friend. I became his right hand and his go to, i would say we ended up like family. I became a caregiver mainly because i never wanted someone to be alone at their time of need and to help with the stress levels family feel from taking care of their loved one. Its honestly the one thing i know i am good at. From organizing schedules to just keeping someone comfortable in their own home. I love learning peoples past how they became who they are now.
