What attracted me to being a caregiver was my father he was sick and had to go into a rehab I never forget he looked at my mother and said you never put me in one of these places mom said I had no choice it was doctor's orders I asked my father what could be so bad about it he said sometimes you don't know how these places are I asked him what could I do to help he said go to school to become a CNA and help your mother bring me home but Daddy never made it home so now I'm able to be there for other family members. The thing I enjoy the most about being a caregiver is to see my clients smile to be able to know they've had a good day to know that I did my very best to take care of them treat others as you want to be treated that's my motto I enjoy doing activities I enjoy working with residents it makes me very proud to know that they depend on me each and every day and that their face lights up when they see me as long as they're happy I know I've done my job.
