I became a caregiver after the birth of my 4th child when I realized how much I really enjoyed taking care of people. It is such a great feeling to know I am helping someone who can not do it for themselves any longer and that may be me or a loved one someday. I started off as a certified nursing assistant but soon realized I wanted more knowledge and returned to college to get my license as an emergency medical technician. I soon found out that whether I am working in a facility, someones home or an ambulance these skills are of great importance. I am a christian mother of 4 children two of which are grown and two grandchildren. I have been happily married now for many years to a wonderful man.
