I am a sensitive, warm and caring person. At the age of 10, I helped care for my grandma who had diabetes and was on dialysis, and my grandpa who was paralyzed on his right side. While my mom and aunts went to work, my older sister and I would be in charge of them. I helped my grandma shower, and made her meals while my sister would bathe my grandpa. I would assist in changing his diaper. My grandparents have since passed and I have chosen to continue to become a caretaker for both adults and children. I have worked with mentally and physically challenged adults, ages 18 to 59, dealing with confrontational and negative behaviors. I planned and coordinated special activities and events for clients. I cooked three meals a day. I taught social and independent living skills. I worked in partnership with conservators, social workers and families of clients.
