I became a caregiver because I love helping others, it's always been in my family and I enjoy it. I like being a caregiver because I love helping others gain their independence and seeing them complete their goals with or without my assistance while maintaining their independence. A personal achievement of mines would be the struggles that i have over came and that I am in a good place in my life. I am a mother of three and a grandmother of one precious granddaughter that I wouldn't change for the world. I worked as an HHA and also a Direct Support Professional at DDI for some years working with individuals with disabilities which was very rewarding.
