I became a caregiver because I wanted to help the elderly and mentally ill and disabled patients and residence. I wanted to care for them to get to the point of their goals in life and everyday. I like being a caregiver cause I get to learn about their health and hear their life stories and be able to interact with them and provide their basic needs. The most personal achievement im proud of is when I use to work a courtyard manor There was this resident named herb he only liked women to help him with his needs. Then I introduced myself and he said "OH your a guy come here come here" so as I worked with he liked me to help him everyday no one else. I talked and talked and had good conversations about the tigers. His family never saw him happy till he introduced me to them. I also made it to the Macomb daily on his 90th birthday. So I have achieved on how to gain respect for the elderly. About my self. I have a lot of patience for situations. working in the health field taught me a lot . im compassionate with others and a good team player.
