What makes me a great caregiver would be that I am trustworthy, knowledgeable, and caring. When I first became a caregiver, it was because i needed a job, but after a week or so it was more than just a job to me. I felt like I needed to be there for our elderly. They need someone who understands their situation, who can make them feel comfortable during difficult times and who are great company to have around. What made me enjoy being a caregiver was how i knew this is what I'm suppose to do. After 7 years, I am proud of myself for being who I am. A compassionate and dependable caregiver!
