I have no actual experience with caregiving, but it has been something that has been on my mind a lot lately. I love to help people, i love making other's happy, and more then anything I just love the fact that i may actually be really helping people. I have always worked in retail, some waitressing and I worked at one of the largest truck stops in the U.S. actually we have an average of +1,000 people a week come to our store from all over, my favorite part is listening to their stories, where their traveling, where are they headed next? Last year, my grandfather passed away of cancer, that's when I really came to the conclusion that i wanted to either be a caregiver or work in a nursing home! I attend Blue Ridge College to get my degree in Criminal Justice. I live in ranson, WV and I am 20 years old. I have transportation, and I love trying new things, and learning new things. I may not have experience, but i DO put my whole heart into everything I do.
