The reason I became a caregiver is because as a kid growing up, i lived with my grandmother a lot of my life. My grandmother was my best friend. I learned a lot from being around her everyday. As i got older and she became sick, I knew i had to be there for her as she was for me. It did my heart so much good too be able to give back to a woman who gave me so much. after her passing, I knew that I wanted to work in the nursing homes to be a help to someone who cant help themselves. I believe that working in a nursing home I am at my best because their are so many seniors and sickly people who have no one to care for them. I want to always do my best to put a smile on someone face who feels depressed and lifeless. Their are a lot of people in nursing home who dont laugh and forgot about all the fun times they had in life prior to the reason they are there. My job is and will always be to make a client smile or even laugh before my shift is over. Alot of times i like to go above and beyond to make sure that happens
