I became a caregiver because I enjoy being around elderly. I lost my great grand mother whom I was very close to a few years back and every since I have always loved to help older people. It kind of fills a void in my life. What I like about being a caregiver is being able to help someone and talk to them to just let them know that you have someone who cares and wants to listen to whatever it is excites them. A personal achievement I am proud of is I finally got myself back in school to become one step closer to my goal of starting my own medical billing and coding business. I have been living in Lake County, Florida most of my life although I am originally from Orange County. I have four beautiful children who go hard for daily.
