I have been a caregiver since I was 8, I helped take care of my grandmother, I didn't go to school for this career but once I graduated and started helping my grandmother more I knew I wanted to be in a career that I could help others. As the years went on I have been in this career for 8 years plus if you consider me when I was younger. I also have 3 children and 1 of them is my niece and I have custody of her. I am so proud of the career I have chosen, I also took care of my mother that has lung cancer until she passed. I ma a very lovable and caring person.
