I became a care giver cause my grandmother that was 95 years old was very sick but she was 92 at the time and she ask me if I can take care of her, so I decided to leave my job to take care of her. She has passed away and that was really hard for me to take but at the end I was happy I got to spend the last three years with her. And my mother had gotten really sick cause of her mothers lost and had a stroke so I'm taking care of her, but I need a better paying job cause I have three kids of my own to support and I love my job as a care giver. Now I want to do this for a long time. I enjoy caring for people. It makes me feel like my grandmother is there. I've been taking care of my mother for 7years now. This ain't just a job it's a loving and caring bond I love to have with people.
