What makes me a great caregiver is that I am able to relate to the needs of my clients base on individuality. I am very compassionate towards my clients. I try my very best to understand their needs and find a solution to it. I became a caregiver not only to help people who are at a disadvantage but rather because I care about people and enjoy being a part of their lives. For many years I've lived away from my father, but the moment I received a phone call that he had a stroke I dropped everything and went to care for him until he recovered. That alone shows how caring and concern I am about people who are unable to care for themselves. What I like about being a caregiver is the fact that I am able to bring a smile on the faces of my clients no matter what moods they are in for that particular day. I go to an extended mile to make sure that their needs are met and that they are taken good care of and happy. One personal achievement I am proud of is being able to graduate college. Both my parents are illiterate and for me to be the first out of four siblings to go to college and graduate was a very good accomplishment for me. And with what I have learned and experience I will continue to strive in what I love the most; that is helping people.

What makes a great caregiver is someone who understands what is the true meaning of a caregiver. To be cared for, an example is meeting a humans basic need. The need for attention, appreciation, affection and love. We are beings and we are social beings who crave a connection with others! I became a caregiver simply because it comes naturally for me, and I am fulfilling my life's purpose. I like being needed and also to give so it pleases me to care for others. My personal achievements over the years have been to become a nurse and I have worked as a C.N.A. For 15 years at the hospitals to gain experience in the many different fields of nursing. I have enjoyed the journey and have gained confidence in my abilities to be an exceptional caretaker!
