What makes me a good caregiver is that I like to listen , interact and understand my residents . Learning what makes them comfortable and happy is important to me . What attracted me on being a caregiver is being around my grandmother all the time who has dementia and having to take care of her made me interested in being in the health care field fully because I loved taking care of people. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is walking in and seeing a smile on each of my residents face , listening to stories from there past on to now , interacting with them and building that special bond .
