I became a caregiver because I love taking care of people in need since I would want the same hospitslity given to me by someone else if I was in that positon. Since I'm not, I want to care for people because that is my passion in life. The best part of being a caregiver is conversating with people and finding out different unique things in them and all the life adventures they've done which interests me very much. A personal achievement that I'm proud of is being an enthusiatic person even if the patient is negative because even if you're old there's still a joy in life that we have to live and I've learned that from past patients and I'm very happy I was taught that lesson throughout the years. I have four kids, I'm a CNA. I cook, clean, administer medicine, play simple games, assisst patients with daily needs and more.
