I have been working as a care3for 40+ years. I love my work, like knowing I'm helping people to have a better quality of life. I also enjoy being a companion and making them feel appreciated and needed. I love being with people in general and have s lot of patience. I hung out with my grandmother and her church ladies a lot when young, always got along great with them. This experience helped me to decide to do caregiving. A special moment of my caregiving years was getting a lady who was embarrassed about having Alzheimer's and in a depression, back to leaving her home and going out to places, working with her flowers again and eating better.
