Hi. I started taking care of my Grandpa when I was 14 years of age helping my mother.. He went into an assisted living community in 1998. I wanted to stay near him so I started working in the community where he lived. Age 18 I had a nurse tell me I have what it takes to become a nurse..He overheard her telling me and that is when I became a part of the field in helping care of the aging.. My Grandpa was a big influence on me and I belive giving them a part of you back. When I was younger and my parents were at work I had my grandpa or grandma take care of me and now i just want to give them something back..
