I became a caregiver because I really enjoy helping others and I always have since I was younger. I have compassion and understanding to any and all needs. What I like about being a caregiver is that it can be very rewarding and so many ways that you can not put a price on the overall experience that being a caregiver gives. The feeling you have at a end of a day and the warm smiles you receive is just a reminder of why you love to be a caregiver. My personal achievement that I am very proud of is when I received my Associates Degree in 2010 in Medical Administration at age 34. I have a twelve year old daughter named Jenna and on the A-B honor roll who is proud of her mother becoming a caregiver and also wants to grow up to be in the medical field. She would always help me study during college when she had time. I am a very caring and understanding person who will always have a smile on my face. I enjoy being a caregiver and would one day like to continue my education in the medical field and become a L.P.N.
