I became a caregiver because I wanted to give back I had a brother that was sick and I saw the kind of care that he was receiving and I wanted to make a difference in someone's life I wanted to make them feel that even though they were sick or going to whatever their issues were that they still had some self worth. What I love about being a caregiver is that I love people I love helping people I love seeing them reach their full potential making them smile seeing them happy. I think my personal achievement pretty much is I'm proud of the fact that I can help someone else is not about me its about helping someone else reach their full potential. Something about myself I am a very outgoing person I like to go places and see things doesn't matter what it is I'm very active in my church I love children an elderly people I like to sit down and listen to them tell their stories I like to read I love my children and my grandchildren and they're very active in my life
