I decided to become a caregiver when my mom was close to going into diabetic shock. I started taking classes and working mostly in the Alzheimer's ward at the facility I was training at. I fell in love with caring for people. It really gives me a feeling of satisfaction to know I've done something for somebody who truly appreciated it. I was grateful I had taken the classes when my daughter was diagnosed with cancer and asked me to care for her at the end of her life., and when my mom needed care as well. I'm grateful for the training I received, I take great pride in how well I managed both of their care, and everyone I have assisted. I enjoy helping people and making their lives a lil easier if I can.
