I feel like to be a great caregiver you really have to put your heart in what you do. I personally put my heart into every aspect in being a caregiver because I love helping others. I enjoy getting to know my clients on a personal level and by respecting their life you really relate with one another. I also just enjoy helping them take care of themselves physically, such as showers, dressing, eating, because I know that when you reach a part in your life you don't want to depend on others, but when someone is pleased to help with those things, I know it makes the world of a difference. And specifically for me I have also enjoyed the elderly, so I am going to school to specialize in Geriatrics.
