What helps me be a great caregiver is my compassion which comes from being empathetic having the ability to put myself in the shoes of the different people I care for. A very lonely roommate who sometimes suffered with depression at the nursing home my grandmother was once at who family never came to visit her is what attracted me to become a caregiver. I wanted to give back by providing comfort companionship & conversation. To show people that they are loved regardless of their circumstances is where I come in at & it gives them purpose. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is when my patients see me their eyes light up & they have a big smile on their faces which warms my heart & that alone let's me know I'm doing something right. A personal achievement I'm so dearly proud of is when my patients family members remember my name take the time to pronounce it right lol & let me know that they trust me with their love ones & have no worries because they know their love ones are in good hands with me even when the facility is understaffed.
