Why did you become a Caregiver? When my Grandparents became too ill to care for themselves, my family moved them in with us. I was constantly thinking of ways, whether big or small, to brighten their day. And, it was at that point I knew I didn't want to do anything else. What do you like about being a Caregiver? I love going to work every day, the smiles you receive for even the smallest deed is priceless, and at the end of the day I feel like I've made someone's life more enjoyable. Also, the bond you develop by getting to know clients and their families, therefore, becoming an integral part of their lives. What is a personal achievement you are proud of? Being bold enough to leave a job that I enjoyed and thought I would retire from, for a career that I truly love! Tell us something about yourself. I've been a Caregiver in both Home Care and Healthcare Facilities for 10 years. Former clients have described me as- Empathetic, compassionate, funny, honest, attentive, and dependable.
