About Ruby

I feel that I'm a great caregiver because I love to help people. I feel that if a person in need has someone they can trust and are comfortable with them, it will make things easier for them. I like being a caregiver because I can make a difference in someone's life. I enjoy seeing a smile on a persons face because they feel better about themselves because of something as little as having companionship. I've been a caregiver for as long as I can remember, It just comes natural for me. I'm a nurturer, very caring of the feelings of others and just overall If I can make a difference in someone's life for the positive I'm satisfied. One personal achievement that I'm proud of is having the strength to care for both of my parents until their last day. I consider that an achievement because that is a very hard thing for someone to handle. Both of my parents were on hospice at different times, the hardest thing to do is to see a loved one going through that and be faced with the inevitable while caring for them. The strength you have to have to keep them comfortable so they wont worry about you worrying about them. Experience is what I feel makes a great caregiver.
