I became a caregiver because a friend of mine needed help with her husband; he had Parkinson's, and I became very good at assisting him with daily needs of living. Then word got out and the phone calls came in. To me this is not a job it is what I was meant to do. But my personal achievement was when I got ask to help a young man. This young man would never smile and was never happy because of the accident, but that all changed when his parents asked for help, now he looks in the mirror and calls for me and asks me if that isn't that the best looking guy in Springfield. He is my greatest achievement, oh and he also got married and now they are having their first child. I am a out going lady, love animals, gardening, walks, crafts, etc.
