What makes me a great caregiver is my personality, meaning having the sweetness to serve those who are not capable of doing certain things for themselves. Having the honesty, tolerance, patience, confidence, and ability to handle my responsibilities as assigned. The biggest medication in life is Laughter; therefore, if I can add a smile or laugh to a client's day, that means a lot to me and will contribute to the patient's recovery. Thus, I will use my sense of humor to make my client's life enjoyable. I love providing home caregiving services to those that would not be able to do so. The smile on their faces is overwhelming and makes me feel I have done my job right. I have always enjoy helping people so I know I am doing the right thing. What I like about being a caregiver is the caring personality that I bring to my patients. It is not about doing this job for money, it is the enthusiasm, the love, and the desire that I have to do it, and to see my people have the best life possible. "I remember the moment I used to taking care of my dad. He was in hospice and couldn't do certain things in his own. I used to help him walk, dress up, laugh, and put food in his mouth. It is a very memorable moment. So far, that is the personal achievement that I am so proud.
