When I was a teenager I was living with my grandma, She was in a wheel chair and had arthritis. I love helping her out whether it was washing her hair or cooking. Sometimes I was the only one who would be able to help her when she needed it. My grandmother passed away in 2006... this is when I felt I could make a difference for others in need. I have a huge heart and people need me, and I need them. This is where my heart is, I love to be able to help someone with there day to day activities. I am proud to say that I have earned multiple awards with my current employer for being the happiest most out going person in the company for 2 years. All the clients know me and when they see that I waked into the building they all get so excited to see me ... But this goes both ways. Im happy to see them too. I work at a rehabilitation company in Kalamazoo mi. I have been with this company for almost 4 years. I am a home manager so I manage 10+ employees and I have 4 clients under my care. I am in love with this kind a work. I know that I can offer much more that what I am doing now. Im looking for the same line of work but with a bigger company that would let me move up the totem poll.
