I became a caregiver to help persons that need a little extra help in their lives. I enjoy working with people and it gives me satisfaction that I can be there when someone needs help. I have always loved helping the elderly or disabled and it puts a smile on my face when they want to help you do a little chore. And I can be there when no one else can be to make sure they are safe and cared for. I believe this has always been in my blood helping people I started as a candy striper at the age of 13 and have been in this field for more than 20 years. Yes, I had stepped away from it but I keep coming back to the one thing I really enjoyed and that was putting a smile on those faces even for a minute.
