My name is Halima Barry and I am a caregiver. What makes me a great caregiver? *Well I am a great caregiver because I have this affection for people that makes me want to help them out both in life an their problems/disabilities they are having. What do I like about being a caregiver? *To me being a caregiver is like being a lifesaver, the thing I really like about being a caregiver is that I have the ability to help people and make them feel comfortable some kind of way so that they don't feel like they're alone. What is a Personal achievement I am proud of? *Hmm, Well the only thing I ask for from my clients or members I'm nurturing is a smile. The only time I feel like I've succeeded is when I see a smile from the person I'm nurturing. Now that you've heard of me I hope your satisfied and hope to meet you in person! --Halima Barry
