The thing that makes me a great caregiver is my kindness for others, how much I enjoy taking care of those in need and keeping them company and a smile on their face. The reason why I became a caregiver was because growing up my mom was a caregiver and I always wanted to help her out. Once I got old enough to to start working I know exactly what it was I wanted to do. What I enjoy about being a caregiver is growing a relationship with your client and getting to know them and them knowing that you will be there and gain trust from them I really enjoy it. I have a few achievements but my favorite one is making it to the special olympics every year and volunteering something I enjoy and look forward too, one year I even got an award I love helping out.
