I became a caregiver because it sparked my interest when a friend of mine told me about her job in Healthcare and how she couldn't see herself doing anything different. Now that I am a caregiver, what I enjoy most is learning from my clients. One thing I am most proud of is the more patience I developed over the 4 years I've been caring for others. Healthcare teaches you to be self disciplined and mindful of the client in all aspects of their care. That's who we are really here for and without them I wouldn't have been able to experience all of what I have at such an early time in my life. One thing a perspective client & family members should know about me is that, I find it essential and a priority that I get to know my client. I say that because the only way I can come close to meeting expectations is if I know my client.
