I try to approach life with a sense of humor even when things get rough it helps to try to find the bright side of a situation. I've been taking care of people since my late teens when my grandmother fell ill with cancer. It just turned out to be something I'm good at and that I like doing. The job can be tough but it is also very rewarding. I just enjoy taking care of people.

I am a 33 year old mother of five wonderful children and I'm a wife as well. I have been a caregiver for 14 years. Having patience and compassion help me be a great caregiver. This is a job that requires a lot of tolerance for challenging situations, and good communication and a positive attitude also go a long way. I enjoy working with people it brightens up my day. Knowing I'm able to help others melts my heart.
