I have been a caregiver now for 5 years during which time I have garnered considerable experience that equips me with the skills, knowledge and ability to offer safe, efficient and timely interventions to those who rely on me for their daily activities. I soon discovered that my patients trust me to be there for them and by this act of faith i have earned their respect and appreciation and this gives me joy. In realizing that those whom i care for might as well be my family member or that I also may one day be in their shoes have helped me decide that this is what I want to do-not as a job but as a career. The joy I see across an elderly patient's face after being assisted with feeding, grooming or getting a simple back rub, the warmth and reception they accord me when I show up at their doorsteps, and the sheer radiance that mirrors their inner satisfaction conveys to me the feeling of comfort they experience in their souls after I have cared for them. These keep me going and endears me more to my passion of care. This is what I do and I'm loving it!
