What makes me a great caregiver is that I enjoy working and helping others to make them happy and stay healthy. I bring patients a positive energy and attitude. My grandparents were the ones to make me grow in this interest because I was always their caring for them, and at first it was not easy. You have to have a lot of patience and connection. I have learned a lot throughout the years, from giving them their food which had to be a dietary form with specific textures and of what they can and can not have. I enjoy the growth and the support I provide. Being able to provide that loyalty and special bond with patients is heart warming because you get to learn new things. If it's soemthing you enjoy doing then it's for you.
