A personal achievement that I'm genuinely proud of would be adapting to the elders who are paraplegic, and physically can not do for themselves. Reason being would be because they mentally beat their selfs up for not being able to physically do anything with out someone else's assistance, or my own. Being able to get them out of that dark place and let them know they are safe, and it is my pleasure to be of service to them and actually getting them to believe I love what I do and they are not the slightest bother is the best part! What I enjoy most is spending time with them. Getting to know them on a personal level. Understanding what their life was like before they got to who they are today. Letting them feel like they have a genuine friend and someone there who actually wants / cares to listen to what they have to say ! The experience that I have being a caregiver that makes me everyone's absolute favorite would be the way I cook , clean , and adapt to a new setting with in seconds. I'm a fast learner and a people's person. There fore in a new environment with a new client , it will come as natural as taking In a breath of fresh air. Last but not least the things that attracted me to be a care giver would be , being put in a position where I'm generally/genuinely NEEDED ! In causal / usual work spaces everyone works as a team to get something done. In this specific situation, it's direct contact. The client relies on being well took care of by the caregiver. Which means they look forward to seeing you everyday and grateful for the assistance that's given weather it's appreciated or not, I know my personal care with them is essential to their every day life, and that makes me feel good about my self!
