What makes me a great caregiver is I have extensive hands-on experience and I enjoy what I do. That's the reason I decided to go back to school for nursing so I can help my elderly patients even more. I enjoy being a caregiver because, you never know what the next day holds for you. Most people enjoy having to wake up to do the exact same thing everyday I don't. With elderly patients they wake up with a different agenda everyday which makes working with them exciting. Hearing their stories and how things where when they were teens are so interesting. What made me decide to become a caregiver in the first place, was the fact that I was raised by my grandparents. I've always been around the elderly and that's all I pretty much know is to take care of them and love them. It takes a caring and patient person to work with elderly patients and I'm the right person for that.
