I'm a mother, daughter and granddaughter. My grandpa passed away in 2000, leaving my legally blind grandma alone. At that time I knew she needed me more than ever. As the years went by, her needs became more and more. It gave me the opportunity to spend more time with her. Listening to her stories of the "old days" learning how to make her favorite recipes so she was able to taste them again. It was very humbling. Through the years, I gave birth to two beautiful daughters now 16 and 18. I also cared for many other children over the years. My whole life I've cared for others in one way or another. Not long after high school, I became a CNA. After a couple of years I decided to join the military to serve my country. I love helping where I can, I know how it feels to have an elderly loved one and worry every day that they are being cared for and having conversations to keep their minds sharp. So, all and all I'm excited to have to opportunity to care for your family member.
