Growing up, I watched my mother take care of both of her elderly and ill parents on her own until they passed away. I saw the emotional toll that that had on her and how great it would've been for her to have help. This personal experience is what attracted me to become a caregiver. I'm very empathetic and friendly, I also love to get to know people and learn about their life experiences which has made me a great caregiver. One personal achievement that I am proud of is working hard and accomplishing my goal of attending the #1 Fashion school in the world, The Fashion Institute of Technology. Working with patients and their families is a job like no other, I've learned so much and it has helped me grow tremendously as a person.
