    I am a great caregiver because I am compassionate and sensitive to the needs and feelings of those in need. I know that those in need do feel emotional pain as well as physical pain and need to be comforted emotionally and physically. Those in need of care need to be told and feel that just because they may not be able to function in the capacity that they are used to or would like to this does not render them unimportant or useless or unlovable and that they can still contribute to life because they still have life and love in them that could make a difference in someone's life. I became a caregiver through taking care of my mother who passed away at age 97 years old. I like being a caregiver because it reminds me of how blessed I am to be able to use what God placed in me to make someone else feel better and do better. A personal achievement that I am proud of is that because I was able to give of myself to care and nurture someone in need of care this brightened my life to appreciate everything and not take everything in life for granted.

    Caring for people of any age have always been a part of my life. I have been a caregiver for over 15 years and I love what I do to help people in need of care feel better. What I like about being a caregiver is the sense of selflessness, empathy, and compassion that I naturally feel about my client. A personal achievement that I am proud of is helping a client to come to terms with a severe stroke. I have over 15 years as a caregiver and two years ago I finally decided to pursue a certified CNA/GNA certificate. i possess an Associate of Arts Degree in General Studies at the Community College of Baltimore County. I am passionate, empathetic, and enthusiastic about my clients. I am someone who thinks positively and can execute difficult tasks. I am a hard worker and dedicated to demonstrate my ability to help my clients live a purposeful life.
