What makes me a great caregiver is that I have faith in helping others and I want to be helpful in humanity. I want to be a caregiver because when my mom was sick I always helped her and when she passed away I felt like I had a responisablity to help other sick people in the same way. I enjoy being a caregiver because at work I spend all my time doing something good that God appreciates. One personal achievement that I have is that I stuck with one of my patients who wasn't able to walk until she got better and started walking.
