I became a caregiver to help meet the needs of people who needed my assistance. What I like most about being a caregiver is the satisfaction of knowing that I have helped someone that needed me the most. I like to help people, it makes me feel good about me. I have an elderly grandmother that I take care of now. I'm a happy person just knowing that I can do this for my grandmother. I also have a paranoid schizophrenic mother that I tend to. They need me and I saw that they were getting older so I needed to know the right way to best take care of them both. A personal achievement that I have been proud of is being able to work for medilodge of sterling hts. for five years and still be able to take care of my grandmother and my mother. I worked for Farmer Jack for 7 years before the company went under. I dedicated my services to the people that shopped at the locations of farmer Jacks that I worked for and I took my job seriously and always did my job to the best of my ability. I took in what knowledge the other employees had to offer because they had been their much longer than I had. I feel that's why I succeeded in working for the company for so long.
