I am a great caregiver because I care and understand, I really enjoy helping and being around seniors, when people are lonely or need assistance, it gives me great satisfaction to know I have brought some joy to their day. One of my personal Achievement would be taking my 98 year old grandmother out every week, we would go to the bank and store then have lunch, sometimes a few times a week. I also cut, permed and curled her hair for many years. This was something to be proud of because she could be a bit cantankerous, but when we were out we would have lots of laughs, and always a good time.
