When I first became a caregiver I was 18 years old and now I'm 21. I have learned so much and I am so proud of myself because I did something that caused me to step out my comfort zone. I enjoy seeing the smiles and talking to the consumers, the stories they tell are just so heart warming. I first became a caregiver because I thought it was a easy job but now it's so much more it's good for them the consumers to know that they have a listening ear and someone they can call on. The things that help me be a great caregiver is that I'm always on time, I'm always right beside the consumer, I'm always there to take care and no one will ever have to worry about anything happening. I've omg been doing this for two year but in those two year I've learned so much and I'm ready to learn more. I am CPR certified, I know what to if someone is have a seizure, and I know if someone has had a stroke.
