I became a caregiver in 2001 and I love it. I learn so much from each patient because they are wise and independent. I bring love to each patient and I get wisdom from them and more understanding. I am a good caregiver. .I do my work with love. I make sure I provide them my best. Keeping them happy is my no 1 priority. Hygiene and safety is my duty to them....I maintain their homes well and also a good cook.... Giving my best is important to me and it makes me happy knowing I did my best.
