I believe I became interested in caring for the elderly and sick because I helped to take care of my great uncle through out his later years. I helped him with his daily needs when he expressed that he needed help. I also, cooked and cleaned for him as well as ran errands for him. I believe a large part of it was just being a companion to him. In recent years, I cared for my mother while she went through cancer treatments and also provided end of life care for her. I helped with bathing, documenting and giving medicines, cooking, feeding, changing. Of course a huge part of this was providing support and comfort to her. I am a patient, empathetic and caring person who would treat anyone how I would my own family. I also completed Nurse Aide training in the past. I have worked in a hospital setting for about the past 20 years and also I have done house cleaning in the past.
