I have been a caregiver provider since 2013, and I enjoy it very much. I have had clients with different disorders, different conditions and I treated everyone with the same compassion and respect. The older my Grandparents got the more help they needed. So, from that moment I decided to become a caregiver. I haven't decided yet on to if I want to change my major to a nurse yet. I am currently thinking about it. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is the smile I put on my clients and their families faces, because they know that their relative is in good hands and they have a sign of relief that everything is fine. A personal achievement I am proud of is finishing high school while taking care of family by myself then going college to father my education.
