What makes me a great caregiver is putting my patient first. Checking on my people when I get work doing my rounds before anything else. Going to the doctors as a child and getting check ups attracted me to want to be a caregiver because I would always want to take gloves and fill them up and pretend I was I was working on it as if it was patient. What I enjoy most is getting to know my patients and seeing them smile and them telling me how kind I am and how nice that feels to them to just be gentle with them. My personal achievement I am proud of is becoming both a pca and cna even though I have a learning disability.
