The thing that makes me a great caregiver is that i have a vast experience with geriatric patients being a licensed physical therapist in Texas in the past. I have been out of the country for several years rendering my license to be inactive. My license status can be checked thru the Texas State Board of PT . What attracted me to be a caregiver is the oppotunity to use my knowledge as a physical therapist in a more personal manner and improve a persons well being for a better quality of life. Seeing someones life getting better and improving is a joy and an accomplishment. I have seen a lot of my patients before who have gained back their independence and self confidence and i am proud to claim that as some of my personal achievement.
