I became a caregiver last year starting from a care home and then i transfered to a assisted living facility aug. 2014 till current. I like being a caregiver because i like helping people and its a good background for my future when i become a nurse. I really dont have a personal achievement YET but i do know when i work i give 100% to satisfy whoever i am taking care of. Not with just assisting them with their ADLs but by also giving them the love they need. I am 23 years old and still reviewing for my NCLEX to be a nurse at the moment. Studied BSN in the Philippines and really like helping people. I started to love more the medical field when i started to takecare of the elderly. Being able to help os not easy and tiring but a simple thank you from the people boosts my energy level and passion more.
