Becoming a caregiver honestly was by luck. I was applying everywhere looking for a job when I got a call for an interview. I went in began the posses and the next day started working! I fell in love with what I was doing. My job wasn't just a job it was more then that I loved all my clients and their families. I don't know how to explain exactly why but just knowing I was being able to help someone and make them happy with my company was great. A personal achievement for me would have to be knowing that I was making my clients happy and comfortable and knowing that I was good at my job 100%. I have just turned 27 in October and I have a 6 year old, I love my family. I have bounced around job to job trying to just find where I belong and when the door opened and I was blessed with being a caregiver I found where I was meant to be all along!
