I become a caregiver to a elderly lady, working in her home under her daughters. I dispensed medication, took her to her dr appointments, meal prepped, gave baths, and did her fun activities that her daughters would schedule her every Thursday. Her and I's relationship was one I will cherish forever, she is deceased now and there isn't a day that passes that I'm impacted by her. For me it wasn't about the "job" or the "money" it was about me walking in her door to see a smile and to leave and continue to think about her until I walked in her doors the next morning. I'm very passionate but I also made sure she was very well took care of while in my presence. I am proud that I have a big heart and love to be a impact on someone's life it's one good trait that I am proud of!
