I have always been someone who wants to help others. If I can do something for someone and in the end, they are happy then I did a good thing. I have had several clients I've cared for through friends and family who needed someone. I started by taking care of my grandparents. It felt really good knowing they needed me and I was a Le to be there for them. It was very rewarding to me. When I was a little girl, my mom would take me and my brothers to visit my great-grandmother in a convalescent home. It always made me sad to see all these grandparents in these rooms who had no one to come and visit them. So I think that's when I decided one day I would like to go and visit them, even if it's just for five minutes just maybe brighten their day. Doing that, made me feel good that I could make someone else happy.
