What makes me a great caregiver is my openness in a job; I love learning something new, opening up to different experiences. I'm love being an extraversion; expanding myself, being upbeat and getting to know people. My agreeableness is what makes me a great caregiver because being kind and willing to help someone is always number one on my satisfactory list. My late grandmother, whom recently passed in 2016 of stomach cancer, I helped with her care for awhile, it was rough but seeing the ups and down, experiencing her at her highs and lows was painful but her good days was a complete joy. It takes patience but dedication and she thought me that it's not about the condition but it's about the whole individual; learning and loving through that difficult process. I enjoy the fun times, the stories that my clients tells, the smiles, and just the overall appreciation I receive from my clients. One of my biggest personal achievements are making the client feel comfortable with me and be able to keep them in great spirits, knowing what they are dealing with. I always tell my patients " your condition doesn't make you less of a human, but it makes you more of a hero, BE HAPPY".
