I am a retired Army wife, and current Army mom. All of my adult life, I have taken care of people in one way shape or form. I took care of my children, other peoples children, my husband, and other soldiers. I became a caregiver outside of my home in 2009 and I fell in love with it. It is such a rewarding feeling knowing that I made someones day just a little bit easier, even if it was just hanging out with them that day and listening to them. I enjoy cooking, cleaning, assisting people with their day to day life, helping someone go out when otherwise they may be home bound. I have been able to teach people with disabilities little things like how to make eggs, or do a load of laundry. It is a very rewarding feeling!
