I am the oldest of 3 so I guess I've been a little bit of a caregiver in that way . I have 3 wonderful children and 4 amazing grandkids so caregiving is a must . But when I was really tested was 3 years ago when my mom was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. I moved her in with me and quit working . I took her to all her dr. Appointments , gave her all her meds and fixed her meals . She is in remission now . She has to go every 3 months for check ups . Although it was stressful at times I wouldn't have had it any other way . I am not currently working a regular job . I do housekeeping . I run errands for my mom and aunt who doesn't drive , and also help out with my grandkids. So I'm available for part time care giving . I'm willing to do background check and drug test . I'm not that great of a cook but can do some meal prep . I was also a kg paraprofessional for 4 years , more caregiving
