I was able to educate my grandmother about healthy living and helped her understand the benefits of reducing sugar and fat intake in her diet.

However aging caught up with her, I then joined a courier company which gave me time flexibility and work/family balance in order to take of her. Now I have fully embraced Caregiving as a career to care for elderly and disabled people.
