Some experience I have with being a caregiver would be when my great grandmother was sick I assisted and helped her with the majority of things she couldn't do like bathing, toileting, and dressing an grooming and occasionally reminding her for her medication. I also would put on her favorite shows an show her old videos of herself when she was healthier. What attracted me to being a caregiver is just that I care for people and I want them to be treated with respect and proper care. That's why I work with children now I care for their well being and I make sure that they are treated right at all times. I use to enjoy seeing my grandma smile after I had just did her hair she use to get her hair done all the time at the salon and she would be so happy when I'd do it. A personal achievement I am proud of is me graduating high school and winning an award for most likely to succeed.
