I became a caregiver 10 years ago because I really enjoy helping and caring for the elders. The rewarding smiles and thankfulness from my clients makes it very rewarding for me. My own personal achievement was when I went back to college at the age of 50 and graduated as a Certified Medical Assistant. I am a 54 year old single woman with 2 beautiful daughters and 4 wonderful grandchildren. I recently moved back to NY after being away for 2 years and work in a rehabilitation for Neuro International where I was A Medical Tech for 2 yeas, I assisted with Medicine, cognitive therapy, bathing, Dr. appointments, and their daily living. I as a very reliable person, caring and always giving myself over and above to my clients.
