I have over two years experience as a caregiver, I love my job in caring for the elderly seniors. I am well experienced in dementia care. Some of duties I perform while with a client is meal prep, medication administratering, light housekeeping, companionship and errands. I decided to become a caregiver because when my grandmother was alive I used to take care of her and l loved it because I am peoples person. Then when she passed away I decided to do it for other people because I am going to school to become a nurse so working with the elderly I gain good experience for my career field in the future. What makes me a good caregiver is I have patience for my client I know how it this when they get to that stage in life so I know how to be calm and work for them. My greatest accomplishment is getting into nursing school it wasn't an easy journey but with hard work and dedication I was able to do it.
