1. What actually makes me a great caregiver is my willingness to serve others and I believe it's my calling. 2. I became a caregiver because, I have great compassion for individuals in need of personal one on one care. 3. Their are several reasons why I like being a caregiver. The first reason is that I am able to be there for individuals that are in need of help. Another reason I enjoy being a caregiver is because, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and after the cancer she went into remission. Shortly afterwards, she was diagnosed with dementia. Recently she was diagnosed with Parkinson. I eventually had to move her into my home and I realized how self fulfilling and rewarding it is to serve others with sincere humility. I feel that as a caregiver each individuals that I care for should receive the best of care, compassion, and the best quality of care that life has to offer. 4. My most greatest achievement is yet to come because, I'm looking to achieve more tomorrow than I have today. Life is a lifelong learning process and when you think that you have achieved your greatest achievement there is still room left for more improvement.

As a Private Pay Senior Caregiver I have been helping seniors and people with disabilities to remain healthy at home for the last ten years. I specialize in Eldercare, dementia, Alzheimer's and Hospice Care and am now living in the DFW area. I am a PCA and not affiliated with a home health agency but an individual and always limit to a small number or one client. I serve a vital function in support of seniors and people with disabilities living independently in their homes, but who need assistance with daily tasks. There is of course frequent person-to-person contact in this job, and I become very important to my client and close to their family. I have worked in Maui, Hawaii, Bend, Oregon, Santa Fe, New Mexico and Dallas , Texas. Along with another Caregiver have accompanied clients on cruises and European trips.
