520 |a The role of caregiver was integral to Elizabeth Seton's person. Building on family influences, her deepest beliefs, and changing social values, Elizabeth spent a lifetime giving care to others. As a young married woman in New York in the 1790s and early 1800s, she provided comfort and compassion for family members, friends, and household workers in times of illness and distress. She also opened her home to young relatives when they were left orphaned. During this same period she was a founding member of the Society for the Relief of Poor Widows with Small Children as well as being active in her church. Within a few years of her conversion to Catholicism in 1805, Elizabeth moved to Baltimore where she was instrumental in the founding of the American Sisters of Charity. Using the talents and skills she had developed earlier, she spent the rest of her life directing her own and her religious sisters' efforts of assisting the poor, visiting the sick, comforting the sorrowful, clothing little innocents, and teaching them to love God.
