I became a caregiver because about a year ago I decided to take a year off to take care of my elderly aunt who had just had open heart surgery , by being her bedside nurse example: cooking,cleaning, and several sponge baths during the day. After a year had past and my lovely aunt have made a recovery I decided to turn my experience into being a caregiver and started school immediately. What I like about being a caregiver is that every experience that I have my client is always different I love hearing their stories and learning about their lives , so caregiving initially turned into a infatuation in to all of my clients lives that made me grow a bond with them and give them the best care possible. A personal achievement I'm proud of is that everything that I set my mind to I always try to achieve ,I got my cosmetology license and I got my nursing license and can say that I am successfully balancing both , with no complaints from both clients and patients. I'm a very polite, outgoing person, I have yet to find someone that has met me and got a response that was anything but respectful. I'm very easy going so I get along with every client that I've ever had , and I tend to always grow a bond with every family that I work for. I've been working for about a year and 6 months , and all living cases. and I always give excellent care to each and every patient I work with.
