What makes me a awesome care taker is my love for people. I'm Kind, up beat, very positive, goal oriented, I'm a wonderful companion, I'm wonderful at communicating, highly motivated, and on time. Makes me feel really great after helping someone. I love to see happiness and comfort on everyone's face. I am that push of encouragement when there's none in site. I was always helping my mom and sisters take care of many family members who wasn't able to get into a nursing home. It never felt like they was working. I enjoyed the stories, and helping them family members. The best part about being a care giver is the awesome people you get to meet. Love to see the smile on their faces, and to hear the stories they tell and the things they teach me. There is never a dull moment in this line of work. What I love the most about this work is that it doesn't feel like it. This is what I was born to do. Once worked with a boy whom has autism, sensitive hearing and was none verbal, he always had a pair of head phone to keep the sound out. He really didn't like big crowds and laughing children was quite loud and scary to him. It was hard to get him to even go the the theater in the middle of the day. It took us almost a year but he was able to go with a small crowd and not feel afraid. I was delighted to see he can now enjoy the company of others while doing what he loved. Watching movies on the big screen. I'm very delicate and patience and understanding, always fair, and safety defiantly comes first.
