My grandmother worked in this field until her health wouldn't allow it anymore. She loved it, and so did I so I stated working with her. I cared for a woman for almost 9 years, I was her sole caregiver, I enjoy caring for others, its what defines me. I do it in a way that doesn't hurt my patients pride, because I know that losing their mobility and not being able to do for themselves hurts, and depresses them. I always make them feel like they are in control. All I can say is this is what I I've for, this is what makes me happy.
