I chose to become a caregiver because I am and always have been a very compassionate and empathetic person and their are so many people that needs a person that truly cares about them and not just a paycheck. What I love about being a caregiver is to see a smile, a form of improvement be it big or small, communicating with person I'm caring for and the fact that I have special skills to accommodate all persons. Specializing in dementia, alzheimer's and even the combative person. One of my proudest achievements is I once had a person that I cared for in a nursing home who refused to have a bath on his bath day. I was the only CNA who could get him to bathe so my schedule was changed to ensure that he would receive his bath days. And, about me I'm dependable, work well alone as well as with a team. I always look for ways to improve care for the person I'm caring for. I always speak in a calm and friendly voice and I love helping others.
