I am a great caregiver because I'm dependable and I have patience, respect and compassion for others. I became a caregiver because I enjoy helping others and being a caregiver gives me a sense of purpose. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is providing support for those in need of it as well as generally being around seniors. As a small child I gained immense knowledge and understanding from the Seniors in my life and have always enjoyed hearing their stories of their life experiences and all the knowledge they have to share with others. A personal achievement I am proud of is saving a small child from an abusive situation who was living with a close relative of mine. The decision to save the child was easy but having to report on this close relative was not. I will always protect my fellow man especially those who are not capable of helping themselves.
