My most recent employment has given me a passion for working with the elderly in the comfort of their own homes. I gained immeasurable knowledge and experience in the short time I worked with August Services throughout the summer months of 2022. However, my most valuable experience comes from the years our family cared for my grandma in our home who suffered from Alzheimer's disease. She was here, in my home, the last 6 years of her life in which I cared for her everyday. Even though I was young at this time I did many things to assist my mom. These are just a few of the things I did to help: I prepared meals and spoon-fed my grandma, I helped shower her, I assisted her in the restroom, I helped her in getting dressed, I helped make the living space secure and safe, and I spent countless hours keeping her company.
