Been an on and off caregiver for approximately 5 years. Family is very important to me. I care for those as I would care for my own. I have worked only in nursing facilities but I rather take my time and care for one person at a time. Makes things more personal and allows me to do a better job. My personal achievement when it comes to this line of work was that I was employee of the month at my old facility because it shows that my care and personality shows in my work. I take great pride in doing the best that I can. I am very detailed and want the people I take care of to feel comfortable.
