I became a caregiver at the age of 18 simply because I needed a job and it was available to me.That was 20 years ago. Since my first client I fell in love with the job. I love being able to help people stay in the comfort of their own homes whether it be a temporary illness or end-of-life care. The pride I get from helping the families I have worked with throughout the years warms my heart. Many clients start to feel like family. It is a emotional heartbreaking experience sometimes watching someone take their last breath, but It is an honor being there to hold someones hand during this experience.
