    Hello My Name Is Brittney, I Have Always Loved Being A Caregiver. What Always Helped Me Be A Great Caregiver Was Showing Both Empathy And Compassion. Showing The Person That I Care About Them And Want To Do Whatever I Can To Help. What I Enjoy Most About Caregiving Is Spending Time And Getting To Know The People I'm Helping, And Being Able To Just Help Somebody The Best Way That I Can. What Attracted Me To Being A Caregiver Was My Grandmother, I Was Very Close With Her Before She Passed Away. I Would Always Help Her The Best I Could And I Wanted To Be Able To Do That For Others. https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1rLMjuC74lm9Qj6GGZj6H2B9v81s_lgUWDicjUUKtCwQ/mobilebasic
