I enjoy being a caregiver because seeing my patient happy makes me happy. I enjoy working with all kinds of people and helping out when needed. I currently am working with a lady at her home and I love it because you get to know them personally and more easily rather then if they are just in a hospital. I love making people laugh and smile and i have a huge smile a lot of people compliment me on. I have always been drawn to the healthcare world, my mom is a nurse along with my aunts. I attracted more to caregiving because I am a very caring person and seeing someone hurt or sad upsets me. I like to make people happy. The thing I enjoy most about being a caregiver is learning about the other person. Talking with them and learning their past and what they use to do in their free time. Learning their hobbies and what they truly enjoy doing.
