I like to make people smile and do little things so they can have a better day, I like to learn new skills and take continuing education to to my job well, and I get along well with a variety of elders. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is being there for my client, being a listening ear, and I enjoy taking care of people The personal achievement that I am proud of is receiving my BS degree in Health Sciences. There were times where I wanted to quit school, but I hung in there and I made it.
