I am a great caregiver because other than being passionate I like to help those who can't help themselves. I became a caregiver because when I was a little I would always be helping the sick and elderly, there is always this irresistible passion for the sick and elderly for me. The things I like about being a caregiver is that most of the times I work alone , that way I get to build this great relationship with my client and we get to understand each other better. A personal achievement for me is that I had a client that they told me would not leave his bedroom to go anywhere elder in his house , to everyone surprise that very day I started working with him he got out that room to have his three meals per day , he is no longer room bound which makes me feel very exited that my passion allows me to get him out.
