I became a caregiver because I enjoy helping seniors out. Growing up my mother (caregiver for 35 years) would take me with her to the senior facilities she worked at and I started to notice that a lot of seniors would be stuck all day in their rooms due to the fact that they didn't have family or friends to ever visit. So after getting to know each person I started to push seniors around/outside the facility in the wheel chair just so they can get a breath of fresh air or a new scenery. Seeing how happy I could make them feel with little simple things like that I started to help with things they could not have done out their own or have someone to do it for them. My personal achievement is being able to help provide for my family and myself while doing something I enjoy.
