What attracted me to being a caregiver was when I was away at college, and my mom became sick before she actually knew what was going on with her, after we found out staying with her at the hospital and seeing how she got so much good care I knew I had that in me and was like I wanted to do what they were doing. I enjoy hearing different stories about the past from my clients, I enjoy meeting new people, and just assisting them and seeing how happy they are when they first meet me and when they actually get to know me. My personal achievement I'm proud of is being able to work take care of others and my family as well to make sure everybody is straight at the end of the day.
