I love being a caregiver first of all because I like helping others, it gives me a sense of satisfaction and achievement. I take initiative, I am responsible, compassionate and a quick learner. I am very enthusiastic when I am doing my work because it is what I love doing, and what I do best. I am known to provide quality care. I would have loved to take care of my mother when she was sick but unfortunately, I could not leave my job and I did not see her when she passed away. I believe that is one of the reasons why I am so compassionate and patient with the elderly because I see them as my mother. I also took care of my mother in law before she passed away. I have very good recommendations that I can provide from all the patients' families I have been blessed to take care of.
