What makes me a great caregiver is my smile, positive attitude and I'm caring. I love to help others in any way I can whether it is physical, mental or emotional, I'm a good listener. With all my hard work and dedication I am still progressing in my career, I will be attending school again to continue my career to become a Registered Nurse.

What makes me a great caregiver is how I treat people with the respect and love they deserve. What attracted me to being a caregiver is my mom, i watched other people take care of her so I wanted to give the same love back to others who are in need. What I mostly enjoy about being a caregiver is helping people. A personal achievement I am proud of is how many people I've helped in my lifetime with my caregiving career:)
