Hi! What makes me a great caregiver will be my personality. I am unique in many ways. I have a warm bubbly personality but extremely professional at the same time. I've decided I wanted to become a Caregiver a few years back. Ended up moving in with my grandmother at the time who needed total care. She is my heart and i still feel like its my job to make sure she's comfortable and in good spirits. I then had my son in 2019. i decided to wait to get back out there. After having my son i had separation anxiety and found it extremely difficult to go back to work. In between, I did go back to work but as a barista. A few months ago Feb 18th 2023 My Dad suffered from an ischemic stroke. That was a sign for me to get back out there. He ended up having 3 more strokes back to back. And all i can think of is, THIS IS MY DAD! and i need to nurse him back to good health. Luckily, I have experience in working with stroke patients. My Dad is my world and i treat all my patients as if they are family or close friends. i believe this is my calling.
