I became a caregiver on account that my mom had a stroke.She was caring for my brother at the time who is physically handicap.The doctors diagnosed her having Dementia and Alzheimer. I took care of both of them for about 6 months. I did the housekeeping cooking,cleaning, shopping, Dr visits, administering medication, to personal hygiene.I realize then how important it is to have someone there for you as well as to bring a security feeling to them.I am very passionate about helping people, I enjoy taking care of others and have great interest in seeing them safe. I also have six children (blessings), of my own I've raised and just love people in general.
