I'm a great caregiver because I'm compassionate, respectful, dependable and all the great qualities a caregiver should have. I love being an independent companion caregiver because it gives me the time to spend with those who may need some additional company or assistance and I can direct my care to that one individual who needs me in that moment. I'm very proud that I obtained my CNA license as a student at Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School just about 6 years ago. This is certainly something that has changed my life. After I decided to give up working in nursing homes/rehab facilities for personal reasons, I ended up taking care of my grandfather (24/7 care) at home when he came home from the hospital on hospice care after a major heart attack. It was definitely one of the most rewarding things I've ever done in my life and I wouldn't change it for the world. I hope to be able to help out you/your family member soon too!
