About Eric

What makes me a good caregiver is the fact that I enjoy people and find most people enjoy my company as well due to the fact I'm concerned about their well being by checking on them or calling them to see how they are doing. I became a caregiver because I worked in Special Education in the Austin Public School System so I am familiar with dealing with special needs of students both mental and physical challenges that student may have been dealing with. Moreover, I have former clients whom I work for whom became like family to me, thus I have continued because I do enjoy a client with a wonderful zest for living. And I was fortunate enough to meet these types of people. The fact that you learn so much from your clients and they in turn learn from you in just making their lives worth living, and for me, it is the joy of affording someone the independence that we all want forever to maintain, even if it with some assistance. To know someone appreciates the help is the joy for me. A personal achievement for me is to have gone back to school for my Masters of Science in Education later in life. It is something that I wanted to attain and I did. I have utilized this knowledge in ways that I didn't know would come into fruition.

My best personality trait is caring for everyone around me it humbles me and it makes me good at my job. What attracted me to be a CNA/Caregiver is the family history I have with taking car of my grandparents. Also, I've always adored older folk. What I enjoy about being a CNA/Caregiver is the bond and quality time with each client. The personal achievement I'm most proud of is being able to be independent and to do anything I put my mind to.
