To be a great caregiver, I have to know what to do to make my patients happy and to respect them, and be very helpful. I did not go to any nursing schools or received any certificates to be a caregiver or to become one. I was a caregiver for my grandparents, I lived with my grandma and my grandpa ever since I was a kid. I grew up and took care of them all my life, I fed, I bathe them and made them happy. This was one of the reasons why I love about being a caregiver is to see my grandma and grandpa happy and made sure they had everything they needed. Taking care of my grandparents is one of my favorite achievements in life because I call it blessings. I can't wait to care for other elderly peoples and make them happy and help them with everything they need and want.
