In March 2016 I was asked by a family friend if I wanted a job as a caregiver. My response was I wasn't sure because I had never done it before. After a couple days of thinking about it I decided I would give it a try. For the most part I enjoyed it, the lady I cared for showed me many pictures, shared old stories, and just made my heart so full. We had some hard times but we got through them. The hardest part of the job is that she had Alzheimer's and slight dementia. But you had to just be nice and everything would work out. I cleaned, cooked, did the laundry helped her to and from her chair and the bathroom and made sure she had a good laugh every now and then. In June 2016 she got ill and had to got to the hospital we found out she had a stroke and a uti so her daughters decided to put her in a nursing home. Leaving us caregivers without a job. In June I found a company called quality care and they gave me a lady who pretty much did everything for herself. She made me do all the handy work plus keep the kitchen and house cleaned. I ended up having to goto the hospital so they found her a new provider
