1.I became a caregiver because I want to be there for those patients in need and who might not have family available to them. I want to offer companionship while giving good quality care. 2. The thing I like most about being a caregiver is putting a smile on my patient's face. Just knowing the extra mile I go gives them that extra comfort and reassurance that they are in good hands. 3. A personal achievement I am proud of is becoming CPR and AED certified. I feel with that extra bit of knowledge I can respond quickly enough to certain situations that could mean life or death for one of my patients. 4. I originally became a caregiver after caring for my grandmother before she died. I strongly admired the visiting nurse who would come in and attend to my grandmother's every need. She wasn't just a job to finish to the visiting nurse, she was someone in need and the visiting nurse offered relief and a helping hand. That distilled a certain type of determination and empathy withing myself. I want to be that caregiver that can also be seen as a friend or a family member. I want to offer the highest quality care and companionship to all of my patient's I come across. I care deeply for all of my patients and never forget a face or a name.
