1 .I became a caregiver because I was always helping my brothers when they were little with cuts, scrapes and scratches, I am the oldest, and I choose to go into the healthcare field to help others. 2. I like helping others it's a rewarding experience to help others so they don't feel completely helpless, or forgotten. 3. When I was working in special education with disabled children and one little guy Darryl with autism remembered me working with him on a one on one and drew me a picture of a lady on a island. 4. I am a people person, and like giving back to someone what I hope someday I will get back because we all need someone in our lifetime. '
