Hello My name is Regina . I am from Milwaukee WI. I became a caregiver back in 2007. My close friend had an accident which cause her to become a paraplegic. She was in a coma for a year. There was no way she would be able to care for her six children. So I decided to help cause no one else would. I enjoy helping people. I get excited from the progress my client make and also just from helping them feel comfortable living. A person achievement of mind would be a recent one. I work the memory care unit at my current job. So many of the residents don't remember you but all of my residents remember by name. They remember what we did and sometimes what we talked about. On my days off they are looking for me and when I come in they ask where have I been. It's so amazing because they don't even remember what might of happened an hour ago. It lets me know that I do well with them and I'm making and impact on them.
