My heart makes me a great caregiver. I've been taking care of people since I was 4 years old, so it's safe to say now at 30 I think I have some experience. I said my heart because caring for others isn't as easy as one may think. When caring for someone other than yourself, you have to put them first. You have to be sure they have what they need before you can think to get yourself what you want. The fact that I can make someone's day by helping them complete day to day task makes my heart smile with glee! Keeping someone company so they don't feel all alone is one of the main things that drive me to become a caregiver. Sometimes our families and friends get busy with their own lives they must live, and that's where I come in at, rather it's watching the A's game or the soap operas, it's always fun doing it with someone that cares. The best part about cargiving is knowing that I am doing my part to make a families life a little easier by assuring the care I prove is efficient. Aiding that family in breathing easier knowing their loved one is in great hands makes it all worth it in my opinion. One of my greatest achievements in my life is becoming a mother. Now that I am a single mother, I have the greatest, most important job of them all, and that's always to do better than I did before. One of my personal achievements I am proudly looking forward to is graduating college in 2020 with my daughter cheering me on. She's my greatest achievement hands down.
