I am gentle, patient, understanding, dependable, caring, loving, responsible. I never knew much about caretaking until one day a company called me for an interview. I had no idea how life changing the experience would be. I instantly fell in love with my job. I enjoy being able to build bonds with seniors, I enjoy being around seniors and being able to make their day better as they do mine! They often are treated unhuman like by others, but knowing I give them the chance to feel human again is the best feeling in the world! My personal achievement would have to be the trust I gain with them. It's hard for them to trust people in that state of mind, but luckily I'm one of the ones they can count on and they know it.
