I became a caregiver to give back to those who are in need of assistance. Being a caregiver to me is more than just an occupation, it is a ministry where you reach out to people through compassionate care and selflessness. I have been a caregiver for 3 plus years and what I enjoy the most about being a caregiver is the difference I make in the daily lives of my clients. For me, it’s never being about the gratitude I get from my clients but the satisfaction I feel knowing fully well at the end of my shift, my client is doing and feeling a lot better than the time I first saw him/her. I have been privileged to have worked with some wonderful clients, who regardless of their ailments are very cheerful. They are the once that bring out the best in me as a caregiver. I am proud of the fact all the clients I have worked me have never had a complaint about my services. This is due to the fact that whenever I commit myself to a task to care for a client, I ensure that, first and foremost, I am punctual. I am very dedicated and finally I am a good communicator. This is an attribute I am very proud of and my case managers can attest to this. In addition to my dedication to work, I am currently holding a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing. During my leisure time I enjoy playing soccer and reading John Grisham novels.
