I became a Caregiver after helping and assisting my closes friend grandmother. When I saw how the elders have been taken advantage of, it really made me want to work with and for them. I like the joys and gratitude that they reflect when they see someone taking the the time out with them. It makes me feel good. My personal achievement of which I'm very proud of was helping out one of my clients after hip surgery. I helped her transition back to walking and getting around on her own. Based on all the things I did around her home and for her personally, really helped her recover quickly. I've witnessed 1st hand on how inconsiderate and careless these CNA's and other medical staff can be towards patients, after being in a rehabilitation facility for 3 months. I was helpless and in need, but was neglected and ignored. I told myself that at any chance I get, I will help out someone whose not in physical shape/fit to do for their self...I consider myself to be loving and loyal. I'm a trustworthy parent of two kids. I'm more then patient with others and always willingly to help. I'm a hardworking, highly motivated, and self-initiated individual who takes pride in great work. Rather its transporting or care-giving or even just holding a basic conversation. A pleasant attitude followed by a smile can go a long way!
