What makes me a great caregiver is the time and patience I have to actually sit and communicate and cope with my clients. I mean there's a whole lot of things I can say that attracted me to become a caregiver is caring for someone who really needs the help, and helping someone smile again are my goals in my service of helping others who can't help themselves. What I do enjoy the most out of my caregiving years is being able to help people accomplish their daily routines without stressing or wondering how they gonna do anything. I was taking care of this older gentleman he was 72 years old and a great accomplishment I made with him was to keep him out an institution and I did took care of him for 6 years.
