Being a great caregiver, you have to have passion on helping others. You have to be very considerate with what patient feel and wants. I love this job because I can make a difference in someones life by helping them with their daily routines. To make their life easier with my ability to help. What I enjoyed the most being a caregiver is by seeing them smile and make them (patient) feel better. My personal achievement that I am proud of, is I had a hospice patient, and through her journey till the end, I know that I made her feel important, valued and loved. I am with her through all her pain. I am proud that until the last breath I am with her and trying to make her feel comfortable despite of the pain she had. It made me a strong caregiver.
