I feel I make a great caregiver because of the fact that I am a mother of 3 young boys now age 3,6, and 9. I have also cared for a variety of disabled, elderly, and mentally handicapped individuals. I really enjoy being a caregiver for individuals who need help with everyday living because I know that I truly try to give them the care and compassion that I believe they deserve and I don't see this as a job but as giving them something that they are missing, and I know that I am one person that really does care and want them to feel loved and cared for like one of my children. I remember a time when I was caring for a young man with autism, mentally challenged and deaf and mute, he really was a challenge to care for but when I could get a smile out of him and him acknowledging that he was having fun with me that really made me all warm inside knowing that he was happy at that moment. I love being a caregiver.
