What makes me an excellent caregiver...I am genuinely friendly and compassionate person. I love working with the elderly especially because you can learn so much from their experiences and life stories. My personal experience that really drove me to continually care for people was my only sister who passed away March 2015. She had renal failure and other health problems. I cared for her at our mother's home until her death. My mother was not strong enough to do all the care as far as her feeding tube and giving her medicine through it. Changing her briefs bathing and all other care. My bond with her was very strong and she always told me that I would work with people like her...when i was younger I did not understand but when she passed away it dawned on me. My sister was so free hearted loving funny and smart. I got my certification in memory of her and plan on furthering my education into Registered Nursing. I treat all my patients like my family and the way i would care for my own. Family is everything to me and being there beside them is even more special. Caregiving started from the womb with me that's what my mom tells me...thanks for allowing me to share
