I believe I'm a great caregiver because I'm compassionate and patient. I try to understand as best as I can to help a resident in my care because I know sometimes they feel down or alone and I love to bring positivity to there day to remind them that they still have a purpose here. I take caregiving very serious. I have kids of my own and I would want someone who is taking care of my kids to treat them how I would treat them. What attracted me to becoming a caregiver was because I did attend college but didn't get to finish yet since I had my kids. But I was studying nursing and a job I applied to asked me do I want to be a caregiver. I didn't know you could be a caregiver without a license. But since then that's been my passion to stay in the nursing field. It's something I love doing I've tried other majors but this is what I love to do.
