1. I became a caregiver when I witnessed the neglect and pain my grandmother was enduring at the nursing home. I then decided to devote myself to her well-being. After she passed I wanted to do my best at maintaining the care and comfort to improve the lives of the people that I assist. I look at a person, regardless of his or her physical and mental capacities, and see that person whole. I see what is there, not just what is missing. But seeing their clients for who they are and letting them know they are seen maybe the most important thing of all. 2. I like most about being a caregiver, it's a fact that I can bring comfort and joy and maintain the well-being of other elderly clients as much as I can. I enjoy the opportunity to impact clients' lives and make a difference to them. I appreciate the chance to get to know clients and their families and become an integral part of their lives. 3. Personal achievement that I am proud of would be throughout all the hardships in life I have yet to give up and I manage to maintain a positive attitude. 4. I'm outgoing, easy to get along with, a great worker, I love to learn, I am also competent, compassionate, reliable, attentive, and patient. I am very flexible and willing to go the extra mile to make ensure the client is at the highest of comfort, stable, and feels safe. Given the current economic situation, and worldwide pandemic, I have to look out for myself as well. I am fully vaccinated and do wear a mask still. I have high functioning anxiety, that has increased in the past year. It doesn't affect my daily duties, but it does have its days or moments. I'm just being honest.
