Why i became a caregiver is I had to take care of my elderly grandmother and grandfather when they were sick . My grandmother was my world and I wanted to do all I could to make her better, I like assisting and caring for people. My achievement would be I had a patient that was suffering from dementia and we would sing daily and sometime he knew the words and other days he didn't. But the days he knew we were both proud of ourselves. Something about me is I have been in retail customer service for 13 years and then started doing what I am passionate about and that is companion care. Also I have a BS degree in healthcare administration. I have a flexible work schedule for most days.
