My expertise that helps me be a great caregiver is I'm very understanding and patient compassionate. What attracted me to being a caregiver is I took care of my grandmother since I was 16 until she passed and we spent a lot of time together and I realize I was companionship for her and I just made her day we used to go shopping and eat breakfast together go to the laundromat together and just sit and talk for hours and drink coffee, about a few years after taking care of her she got diagnosed with dementia and I started to be her respite care provider for my mom and we got to spend lots of time together and I took her doctor's appointments gave her her medicine. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is that I'm able to make someone's day and able to assist them with their daily living, give their family that reassurance that they're in good hands and that I will take care of them as they are my own. My Personal Achievement that I'm proud of is that I'm the face they see as a caregiver to take care of them and they trust me.
