About Richard

First of all I went from working in the downtown area of Chicago, very fast paced and very good money to one day my mom was diagnosed with Parkinson disease and at the same time my grandmother with breast cancer and dementia. My grandfather had colon cancer too. They all lived together. I ended up being there caregiver which led me to getting my CNA in which a agency hired me to take care of them so I didn't want them in a nursing home. What makes me a good caregiver is that Im very organized and was willing to learn about their conditions. Being that they all lived together, made it easy to take good care of them in which I moved in too. I was told by many people including the nurses and doctors that I was very empathetic. What I enjoy most of being a caregiver is how it makes me feel. I love to help others because its a feeling of accomplishment. A personal achievement Im proud of is that my mom, gram and gramps got there wish of passing away at home around family.
