Eight years ago, I took care of adults with mental disabilities, then moved into caring for the elderly three years ago. Having worked with these population group has given me the satisfaction of making one's daily life livelier, easier and happier. Although some do not show/express their emotions well, being a detail oriented person helped because I can understand what/how they are "feeling" even with a slight gesture or body language. This ability to connect and be able to communicate is a skill I am proud of as it has made the elderly clients' families request for me to take care of their loved one. Take for example, "Nana," her granddaughter would ask the company for every available schedule I have since Nana liked me while she let other caregivers leave after a few hours, leaving just me and Nana's granddaughter to help care for her. Another is Tony, a very private 92 year old whose two sons lived out of state. Tony's sons claimed that I was the only caregiver he accommodated well and that he spoke highly about the care I provided. With the feedback I get all the time, it made me feel good about myself and inspired me to continue and make a career in the nursing field. I still have a goal to one day become a registered nurse. Meanwhile, I want to continue what I'm doing-- caring for the elderly.
