Have worked as a caregiver since 2010, I started with IHSS in Orange County California for my mother in-law since her kids can't take care of her when her husband died. I love to help and do anything for my clients as much as I can before I leave their house for the day. What I like the most is that I can help and elderly that needs help and also help their families or loved ones that can't be with them due to work or far from their parents or loved ones. My personnel achievement is that I got to care for someone that needs help, cause I know how it feels like, when your parents lives far away from you and you are not around to do anything for them, especially to take care of them when they are sick. My mother was sick and I was living here in California, all I could do is cry cause I can't do anything from here, as time passes and my mom got worst and no treatment can be done, where I'm from, there are no caregivers. I went home to be with my mother and to do what I love the most, being a caregiver for the times she has left. I love being a caregiver because of so many reasons and for what I have experienced as a caregiver. All clients are different. As a caregiver I have to understand where my client is now, and where my client was before they reached the stage of life that my clients is now. And also understand the families of my client, the families are worried for their love ones.
