i became a caregiver when my mother became paralyzed in a wheelchair . i was the age 13 when i started to help take care of my mother. then at the age 19 i landed a job as a caregiver to my current patient , whom ive been with for the past 3 years. being able to help others who cant really help themselves is an incredible feeling, i really like being a caregiver and making people feel comfortable to be around me. a personal achievement i am proud of is being able to stay with a patient for as long as i did. im not only his caregiver but i have became his friend. iam a very patient person , i dont rush nothing. im kind hearted and caring.
