Hi I'm 23 years old , and I've never thought I would want or love doing a job like this . I had sick family members that I would help take care of so I said I would give it a try and make a job out of it . Since I had this one client she's touched my heart and I loved it every since !!! I've been doing this for a little over 2 years and not sure what else I would want to do until I go back to school. I majored in biological science to be a forensic science technician. I didn't finish because of some family conditions. But until then I hope I can join a family and help take care of clients as best as I can and give them love and companionship that some are missing .
