How I got started in this field: A friend actually introduced me into working in a group home first and I kept working I met n was introduced into being a personal care attendant and during that time after getting through omg I have never done this before and I had a mom who needed the same help ( I felt this rewarding feeling of this is what I'm supposed to do without any doubt . ABOUT MYSELF: I am caring, fast learner, open-minded,great listener,dependable,hardworking and I love to greet n say goodbye when my work is done. WHAT I ENJOY MOST ABOUT BEING A CAREGIVER: the clients ( the look on their faces to have someone to help them feel a little more independent) MY MOST PROUD ACHIEVEMENT IS: working with my individual clients and families for years- my most recent client was 97 years old n I worked for her for 9 years
