I became a caregiver because I am a friendly, caring, compassionate, and dedicated individual who enjoys working with and helping others, especially the elderly. It gives me satisfaction knowing I have made a difference in the lives of seniors by giving them quality care. Being able to help the elderly maintain their independence; thus allowing them to remain in the comfort in their own homes. is another way I can make a difference. That is what I like about being a caregiver. I also like spending time with seniors. I enjoy listening to them talk about their families, past experiences and accomplishments, or whatever is on their mind they need to share. They know I not only listen, but I care about them as well. Being a caregiver gives me the opportunity to establish and maintain a relationship with the person, or people in my care; this too is what I like about being a caregiver. I feel good about the fact that I was able to take care of and spend time with my elderly parents for the last five years of their lives. It was very difficult to do in many ways, so I consider it an achievement I am proud of. I like to walk for exercise, go for drives-especially in the country side, go to the coast, travel, and spend time with friends,
