I have been a caregiver for 13yrs now. I started off as a caregiver at a young age to my grandmother who raised me, she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and the nurses worked with me to help with her which was very hard for a 15yr old girl to watch your love one die but i believed thats what started me out to this field, and my mom took care of our elderly neighbors which i helped out also. Some people are meant to be in this field and I think I am one of those people cause its not a easy field to be in and you have to have patience, compassion,kindness, love what you do. I love a patient to say or brag about the little things i do for them that may not be anything to someone else but means the world to them because I care enough to do something that wasnt in my job description thats the part of my job I love, to make some else feel good. Thats what makes me a great Caregiver and more. I love what I do and I have the references to back it up. Thank you
