I'm a mom of 4 kids and a grandma of 2 grandsons. I grew up in Cambridge, Iowa until I was 18, moved to Arkansas till I was 23, then my husband and I got married June 25, 2011. I found out that I love helping others when my mom would take us to the nursing homes where she worked and I got to get to know alot of the residents there and help out a little. So far my favorite job was Windsor Manor and helping with my father in law at home. Windsor Manor was a lot of different elderly patients from wheel chairs, walkers, bed ridden, hospice, alzheimers, dementia, and just some that needed to have a visitor now and then. I found myself feeling they where my family. I also took care if my father in law at his home that also had dementia and alzheimers for about a little over a year till he passed away. I like finding stuff that they used to do as kids and bring back some memories and some really good stories. Being a caregiver gives me satisfaction that I'm not only helping the patient but also it gives the stressed out family a little break that is well needed. I feel helpful, grateful, and achievement helping those that can't do it all.
