I became a caregiver both because of personal need and because uplifting somebody else is natural to me. I love the appreciation that often comes from this type of work - but I like the opportunity to play an important role in somebody else's life. I like being needed and I have no problems giving love. My greatest personal achievement is myself. I worked and struggled to overcome so many of my own faults and shortcomings that I am now able to use those strengths to help others. I am 60 years old and I haven't had so much fun in years. I am very loyal, punctual, hard working. I never miss work unless I can't help it. I presently work in a elderly care facility where I am in charge of 18 to 36 people - all with advanced stages of Alzheimer's or dementia. I have been doing this type of work for over 3 years and before that I worked in the capacity of a mentor for developmentally handicapped or those struggling with criminal backgrounds. I am good and this and love the work. Donald Aragon
