I feel that I'm a great caregiver because I have many family members who need care due to age, mental illness, developmental disabilities, etc. I think about they type of care my family wants provided for those family members and do my best to provide that and more for my clients. I have been a caregiver most of my life, because of my family members, but professionally for about a year. I have loved working with clients of all backgrounds and special needs and have chose to continue to do this even after relocation. My last clients was dual diagnosed and needed a lot of attention and care. Coming into the situation I did a lot of listening to the people who knew her best and then connected with her as time went on. The joy I feel when I'm getting to care for someone is indescribable, because so many of my family members need care I have seen first hand what good caregivers and provide for these individuals and I strive to do that for my clients.
