I believe what attracted me to become a caregiver is when I had to take care of my grandparents. After my pawpaw had knee surgery I took care of him the whole time, then when my grandma had some medical problems where she couldn't see or walk for a while. It took in a lot of love for me. I enjoy being a caregiver because I just love helping other people when they don't have anyone else's help. My most personal achievement is when I took care of both my grandparents at the same time witu 2 completely different problems and was with them till I knew they were perfect enough without me being there all the time.
