I been a caregiver for a couple months now , but it's been long enough to realize that I really love this job! Helloing others makes me feel successful and proud of myself. I needed a job when I turned 18 so I was looking for jobs...,.I realized that there was residents care needed in Merced in the Park Merced facility at first I was scared to become a caregiver but then I realize that it wasn't bad as I thought it was going to be it's actually A pretty good experience. What I enjoy more about being a caregiver is that providing the needs of others makes me feel proud of myself because helping others is something that I was taught to do when I was a little girl. My personal achievement I am proud of is that helping elderly's makes them feel like there's someone still there for them and that they're not alone that there's still people here in this world willing to help them out.
