I became a caregiver to help my sisters better understand how to take care of there children with special need. I am the middle child of three girls. My older sister has a child that is artistic and my youngest sister has a child that was born with a heart defect and has a rare form of Downs Syndrome. She requires 24 hour at home nursing care, I am currently in school studying to become a Register Nurse. What makes me a great caregiver is that I really care for my clients like family. I understand how it feels to have a stranger in your home helping you or helping with a family member and how that personal touch goes a long way. What I like most about being a caregiver is the look on my client face when I walk in and he/she are so happy to see me that makes all the hard work worth while.
