I believe I'm a great caregiver because of my experience and size. I have being doing this kind of work for 11 years and have encountered many different patients with a variety of ailments. My size is also a benefit, I am 6'7'' and weigh 270lbs so I have the ability to handle larger patients if need be. I became a caregiver on the recommendation of a RN that was on my very first assignment I was on, an assignment I was on in a Fill in capacity. What I like about being a caregiver is that I enjoy helping people, especially staying in their homes as opposed to a hospital or facility. I think my greatest achievement is that on two occasions I have saved peoples lives, both people had seizures and I had the knowledge and ability to administer aid.
