Okay well my name is Nicole Bowman I'm a single mother of three I got two grown kids and a 15 year old daughter I'm a very loving happy serious when I need to be caring person sometimes I wear my heart on my sleeve don't mean to but I'm also the type that doesn't believe in cutting corners. You going to do it you do it right and to the best of your ability. So now I'll just go down the list and answer the questions, what helps me be a great caregiver, I'm very compassionate about what I do. I absolutely love taking care of people I love being the voice for the person that doesn't have one or doing things for somebody they can no longer do or nobody wants to do I was born to do this. What attracted me to being a caregiver is again it's in my DNA I love helping people I absolutely love it I love giving I love doing I just I love helping people it's I don't know how else to say it. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is I love hearing about somebody's life the stories that seen family photos getting to know the person getting a relationship with a person yeah it's got its ups and downs and you know but any job does I get in there and I do what needs to be done I don't think anything of it whether it's wiping somebody bathing them cleaning up after them cleaning the house whatever it is I take care of everybody as I would want to be taken care of if it was me. And a personal achievement about me, I'm great at what I do I just really am and I would love to take care of your family member so you can find out as well.
