Summary
Throughout my life growing up and being raised by two nurses you are bound to learn a thing or two about being a caregiver. While with BAMSI and also being a caregiver for my grandmother while she was staying with my family I have gained experience in the healthcare feild and how to aid the elderly and the disabled. Gained skills like cooking and serving food in different consistency, how to give insulin shots, and basically just the basics of giving assistance to the people that are in need for aid. After working with BAMSI and taking care of all the residents in the homes I have a new found love of being there for the people in need.
