I am a very patient and caring person. I have a lot of experience with taking care of elders because of my grandma. I did it full-time because my aunt worked all day. I'm interested in becoming a caregiver because I know how lonely they can get and I'd love to help them and make them feel better. I enjoy listening to their stories and knowing that I'm doing my best to make them feel happy. I'm proud of knowing my grandma never felt lonely since we had no family around. I'm also proud of everything I learned while taking care of her because I knew she could count on me. My grandma is 91 so she had episodes of dementia and Alzheimer's, she would especially have panic attacks and anxiety. It really helped being patient and understanding her to calm her down. I have experience with checking their sugar and blood pressure. I would write it down in a little notebook to keep tabs on it. I'd also give her her medicine 2 times a day. Whenever needed, I would put the oxygen on my grandma. I also would bather her, feed her, and give her company. I have taken her to doctor appointments
