When i was 16 years old, my grandmother got into an accident, which made her disabled, around that time my mom had to work for her family. I had to take care of my grandmother, by doing so I started falling in love with the idea of care, the feeling when you are helping another human being, the feeling of knowing you are making another person feels good, you are putting a smile on their face, and knowing that they know it's okay, that someone is here for them. I was happy I made her feel good, I also learned a lot from her, we became close, and till this day she's telling me thank you. I have been doing care for a very long time, and I love it, i feel like I finally found something that makes me happy and I enjoy doing it. We all need to feel special at one point and I'm glad I'm able to give that to someone. I treat each patient like family, one of the reason why I believe I'm a good caregiver is because I developed a strong bound with them, they becomes part of my life, a family, and I know I'll always have someone to talk to.
