I became a caregiver because I enjoy helping people that can't help themselves. I was working in a facility as a secretary, doing admissions and discharges. They were always short CNAs. I decided that was something I would like to do, so I went right out and studied to be a CNA. Once I got certified, I started working right away. I then got my own private patients. The 1st five years I was caring for a woman with Alzheimer's and dementia. After she passed, her family asked me to come care for her husband who was in declining health. I worked with him until he passed after another 5 years. I gain a lot of satisfaction being able to help people in need. I love to share laughs, sing songs and generally bring joy and a positive attitude to my patients. I'm married, have four grown children and nine grand-babies. I love life and I love being of service to others,
