I have been into, involved in, and around care giving my whole life; my grandma and great grandma raised me and were both caregivers their whole adult carriers and I would always be with one of them while they were at their work place, and would always allow me to help out as much as I could because I would constantly be asking what I could do to help! So I began to grow a pretty strong passion and love when it came to caring after others that led all the way up to once I was all grown up and taking care of and looking after my grandma in whom I ended up taking care of up until she unfortunately passed away from a heart attack. But I enjoy the bonds and friendships you build with your clients; and always making sure that they know that they aren't alone and seeing the smiles and laughter, and happiness is definitely rewarding
