I became a caregiver after i watched my grand mother decline in health. She went from stable to needed assisted living in a matter of days. It was tough watch her health disintegrate and i was worried about the quality of care she would receive. From that moment on, I decided i would help others in their battles of watching a loved on struggle with health/mental issues. I love everything about care giving, especially the stories I get told from my clients. In 2009 I had a miscarriage of what would have been my first child, I was enrolled in EMT classes at the time and had a difficult time forgiving myself but only one year later, and by surprise, i have birth to a healthy baby boy! Despite all the rigorous physical exertion required by NYS to be an EMT, my bean survived and thrived! That is a personal story that i am so proud of! I am a 25 year old female who thrives on improving the lives of every one around me and i love to be part of a family and help others.
