What makes me a good caregiver is that I'm reliable,I have patience for my residents,I'm trustworthy,flexible and I have compassion for them to let them know I'm there to help them anyway I can.Growing up in a family of medical professionally I surely thought that after school that is what I wanted to do.After going to work with my mom helping her,volunteering at her job I loved it.I took care of my aunt and aid the sick in her home.Being surrounded on a daily basis by this kind of environment is what are me want to become a cna/caregiver of 11yrs,you have to want to like what you do.The moments when you can reflect back and see how you have helped the elderly is what caregiving is all about.Being a cna for 11years has helped me in so many ways,I've worked in nursing homes,private duty,hospitals etc.I love what I do in helping each client I have come in contact with.Taking care of sick people that needs my help really gives me joy in my heart and let me know they need people to work for them that care.My personal achievement would be I went back and got my CMA license to pass medication,and one day I'm going to go for my LVN license.
