What makes me a great caregiver - first of all, because I care for the well-being of others; I am a caregiver by nature, and has always found myself operating as a caregiver in one way or another. Why did I become a caregiver - I did not become a caregiver, I was born one; I am in the business of caring for people; I have years of care giving experience with my family, friends, fellow colleagues, as well as those in my church and the community. What do I like about being a caregiver - What I like most is making a positive impact on the one whom I am caring for, as well as their family; when I am making a difference in someone's life in a positive way, I am fulfilling my purpose in life which brings me joy that I cannot begin to describe. What is a personal achievement I am proud of - A personal achievement that I am most proud of is that I have learned how to become what the client needs me to be to her. Being a versatile person, I have been successful in reaching the client where he/she may be at the moment, and have always received accolades from the client, as well as, the family. When providing care, I realize that I am not only providing care for a loved one, but also for a family. And, that is why I am pursuing a career as a professional caregiver.
