What makes me a great caregiver is that I am very responsible, dependable and work my best to make the one I am taking care of feel special and happy every day I care for them. What attracted me to becoming a Caregiver was that I was needing a job since I had just moved back to my hometown and filled out an application with Kelly Girls, an agency that hired people for different jobs. I was called to care for an 80 year + lady and enjoyed it. It was not what I went to College for, but continued to do both working in Administrative work and then part-time as a Caregiver. The thing that I enjoy most about being a Caregiver is the stories of those I care for. There is so much history that they have to share...even those from different parts of the Country and learning how different things were from then to now. My Mother was born in the Depression years and experienced the years of WWII, where 3 of her brothers were part of. It's the elderly who helped build the life around us and them being nurtured by their parents to give us a better tomorrow. I believe the most personal achievement I can say I am proud of is that I was taught good work ethics by my Mom, who was a farm girl. I started working at age 11 and have worked many different types of work and am a fast learner. I paid for my own College and worked at times 2 jobs to pay for my own apartment. In the Caregiving field, I have been taught some things that a Nurse is qualified for, but taught by the family of their loved one how to do certain tasks. I am very respectful of people and their property.

I became a caregiver because a friend of mine needed help with her husband; he had Parkinson's, and I became very good at assisting him with daily needs of living. Then word got out and the phone calls came in. To me this is not a job it is what I was meant to do. But my personal achievement was when I got ask to help a young man. This young man would never smile and was never happy because of the accident, but that all changed when his parents asked for help, now he looks in the mirror and calls for me and asks me if that isn't that the best looking guy in Springfield. He is my greatest achievement, oh and he also got married and now they are having their first child. I am a out going lady, love animals, gardening, walks, crafts, etc.
