I started caring for my latest great grandmother and her husband when I was 16. By giving them care it made me want to help others in those same situations (Those with Alzheimer's and dementia). I have loved it ever since. I have a better understanding on what they feel in the many stages it comes in. I feel like if it wasn't for my grandparents I wouldn't be in this field, to give the elderly the companionship that they need and deserve. I enjoy making everyone laugh even on the worst of days we all just need a friend to say hi with a smile.
