I was also a candystriper in our local hospital. I have 2 daughters and 3 grandchildren whom I can't get enough of! My husband of 34 years had a stroke 3 years ago this November and I am his caregiver.

What attracted me to caregiving is that the elderly need us and rely on us when the family can't do it anymore due to there family and work. So we become there helpers and like there family. Give them comfort to know someone can be there 24/7 with them. I am proud of what I have decide to do as my career. Makes me happy to serve and take care of the elderly.
