Trying to answer the following question, what makes me a great care giver? seem like an opportunity to toot my own horn. However, I have been working in this capacity for over fifteen years and it brings me great joy knowing I am making a difference in the lives of others. My story of becoming a care give is quite similar to many immigrant women coming to the United States with families to support here and at home, and becoming a care giver is one of the very first options we are presented with in addition to being a nanny. In my situation when I was presented with the two options for finding employment I immediately choose to be a care giver for the elderly because I have always had a closeness and enjoy spending time with the geriatric population. I have since went on to earn HHA and CNA certifications and over the past five years I have volunteered with Hospice in my previous home town of Bloomington, IL. Besides the joy that comes to me from being a care giver I also like being a care giver because of the smiles and appreciation that is given in return. I have many personal achievements I am am proud of, but the one I am most proud of is being a mother to a wonderful teenage son who is in is second year of college at age nineteen.
