What makes me a great caregiver is that I am very loving to my clients I have so much compassion and patients for my clients. My clients are more than my client to me, they become part of my family. What attract me to be a caregiver was when I was a teenager, I find myself helping others with disabilities for no pay. There use to be this lady in a wheelchair who stayed up the street from me she had no legs and she had about three children. I use to see her by herself going up the street with her three kids. One day I introduced myself to her and we became really close. I use to go to her house and clean up for her because I know that she needed the help. I did it without pay because that didn't matter to me I just wanted to help someone out who needed my help. From that day forward, I have been in love with helping others as well. What do I enjoy most about being a caregiver is the companionship. I love putting a smile on someone face and I sure do appreciate when I meet clients who puts a smile on my face. I also love going out with my clients. What is a personal achievement I am proud of is going back to college to finish something that I started, but did not finish in the beginning. Once I took some time out to take care of myself, I went back and took the course over. I finished and graduated.
