Why I am a great caregiver? I embody the word "care." I believe that I am in this world to be a great caregiver. I cared for six foster children after their mother lost her way and left them to fend for themselves. Their ages ranged from one to seven years old, and they lived with me for seven years. I helped build a home for them, and some of them still reside in that home to this day. As a caregiver, I am very observant and skilled in assisting with the health needs of the care recipient. Caring for others brings me contentment and joy.

The reason for me becoming a care giver is to give back to others, because what has been done for me in my pass. I am a fun and loving, caring person that loves what I do for a living, I have recently started working with elderly patients and I feel there is not that much of a comparison in what I have been doing with the young adults that I was use to working with. I love it all the same working with people is a passion. Animals are not an issue I love them as long as they don't bit, I have very reliable transportation. If there are certain ways that something needs to be done as long as I could be shown or walked through I am willing and able to learn and do. I am capable and able to run errands, prepare meals, engage in activities in the home as well as outside the home. Dress, bath, as well as just making sure that all is taking care of while that person is in my care.

• I am a great caregiver because of the following personal qualities: I am very empathetic, caring, loving, respectful and have a strong desire to help people that are challenge in one form or the other. • I became a care giver thanks to dealing with a personal family experience that transformed me. My father had a stroke ten years ago and his situation has generated into dementia. I have been taking care of him. This experience changed me. • What I like about being a caregiver is the gratification of helping and serving people who at times are so helpless. Putting a smile on their faces despite their agony and tribulations make my day. • A personal experience I am proud of is serving my clients life with decisive and good judgment to activate an emergency response system when I arrive work an immediately realized that her condition has deteriorated and she appeared discolored.

I became a caregiver solely on the simple fact of trying to be like my mother at first. But it was soon after I begin my first job at 17 years old that I found I really have a passion for helping people. The look of gratitude and appreciation that comes from the people you take care of surpasses any other amount of money or material satisfaction that I could have imagined. A lot of people chose to be in the health field because it pays well, but if you don't have a passion for what you are doing, it is pointless. I care for others as if they are my own family. I love to talk and get to know my clients so we can both come to a comfortable understanding of each other. A personal achievement of mine I am proud of is continuing to further my education. Education is key to understanding a lot about yourself. So I take much joy in my schooling. I am a junior at Coppin State and have been a GNA for the past three years. I love what I do!
