Hello my name is Antoinetta 22 years of ages, I started to become a care giver at 18 years old, I work now at a care home at S&G Valley Guest home with elderly men. What makes me a great caregiver is that i like helping people in general , people are so fun and cool to be around. I became a caregiver because i have brothers who have mental ill problems and i love helping and learning things about people who are in need of assistance. What do i like being a caregiver is the love you get from my clients ,they are all different and they teach me new things everyday. Since i been a caregiver i learned to have patients , excepting different behaviors and understanding why they have them and helping the, become better people. A personal achievement i am proud of is when my care home received a new client and none of the other care homes wanted him and i told my boss that we should take him because he needs a chance and so she did. For the first three months he gave us problems but we never gave up on him , i would play games , take him , talk with him when he was down and now he's a better person we have a great relationship also with with other staff. He keeps me laughing at work there is never a duel moment at work.
