I make a great caregiver because I'm a people person who really cares about the well-being of the elderly. I have a lot of patience and don't mind the task that come along with working with them. I help them become self sufficient, if applicable, as well as treating them nice and helping them in areas that are required. I don't get all antsy if they get annoiyed. I enjoy being a caregiver because I am helping people, giving back to the masses. Elderly people are very knowledgeable, and I learn a lot working with them, and being in their presence. They are the easiest to work with, pleasant, respectable, humorous, and kind. The work can sometimes be challenging depending on the situation, and circumstances, but for the most part a piece of cake. I love helping better peoples lives, and wouldn't trade it for the world.
