The things that makes me a great caregiver would be, I am passionate about my job. I love caring for others an giving them reasons to look forward to a smile on their face. My mother has been a caregiver for over 17 plus years. When she decided to become a caregiver I wanted to be just like her. She is my biggest inspiration on caring for others and not just only yourself. I enjoy being a caregiver because I see how some clients are lonely and just would like someone to talk to. If I can beat helping hand to just one person then I have felt as though I have done just one good gesture for the day. I have had experience in nursing homes, I have worked around the mentally challenged, I currently work for a agency as a (HHA).
