I think one of my greatest Gifts, attributes, and My Proudest Strengths is my Love and Compassion for Children and the Elderly. It fills my heart with joy to watch a child giggle or an elderly person laugh knowing that they are loved and being taken care of by me. I helped my Mom care for my Dad when he was diagnosed with Scleroderma. For over 2 years I administered his many medicines, checked his vitals, oxygen levels and his breathing treatments. I also helped my Mom take him to Vanderbilt for his many appointments. Even though he passed from this horrific disease I felt Blessed that he knew I was there with him and My Mom taking Loving care of him. My current elderly couple I have been caring for are moving in with their children so they can be closer. I desire to stay in a caregiver position for the elderly as I feel that God has given me this Gift to help the elderly have laughter and joy in their aging years. I also receive Blessings and Knowledge from them as they talk about their journeys through life. I have a deeper sense about true hardships and sacrifices our elderly have endured to make our lives better.
