I became a caregiver because I enjoy being around people and being able to take care of them, also one day will become a nurse practitioner and I feel the best nurses today work from the bottom on up . The things I like the most about being a caregiver is that the people I care for trust me and see me as a part of their family. I love having the one-on-one time with that person so I can truly get to know them and the things and activities they enjoy. A personal achievement that I am proud of is that I enrolled myself back into school and will further my career in the health care field, I have plenty of goals set out for me to accomplish and know I will succeed. I am a peoples person and have a big heart. I'm one to where if there is a problem I will do any and everything to fix it and try a different route if it doesn't work out.
