I would love to be a caregiver. It makes me feel happy that I can make someone else's life just a bit easier everyday. I want them to be able to feel safe. I work in a dialysis, clinic and hospital setting. I always do my best to make them feel comfortable and with a smile. They love to just have someone to talk to and I love talking to them and hearing all their great stories. The best part of my life was taking care of my mom. She was ill pretty much since I was very young. Anything I was able to do for her I did. She was so happy, Sadly she decided to go into hospice but we did it at home, with me able to care for her, make her comfortable and safe. I know that's sad but I know in my heart it makes me feel happy to be able to be there for someone, make them happy and smile. I was born and raised in New Jersey and am the oldest of 6 kids. I love pets, I love to organize things and be clean. I am married to a wonderful man for 12 yrs and have helped raise my wonderful stepson and niece.
