What makes me a great caregiver is I'm understanding a great listener. What attracted me to be a caregiver was watching my mom do it. Seen her taking care of someone who wasn't able to do for themselves was amazing to see so I decided to follow her footsteps and do the same. I started when I was 16 and stuck with it ever since. I enjoy being there being a friend and being someone who they could rely on to get things done when they can't do it themselves. It warms my heart knowing that I can meet there satisfactions.
