1. I became a caregiver because I love helping others. I can only imagine what it would be like not having full function of my own body and needing help to do everyday activities. I want the people I take care of to feel loved and taken care of. 2. I like getting to know patients personally and being able to provide care to individuals who are not able to do for themselves. I also like the feeling I get after caring for these patients. 3. A personal achievement I am proud of would be making anyone smile. It might be a small achievement, but I feel that if I can make them smile then they feel loved and well taken care of. And that's what matters to me the most. 4. I am 27 years old with 2 children. I love the outdoors and sports. I often ask what type of music the patients like and play music for them. To me, music is great for helping with pain, and can also calm people down. It is also fun to put on some music and dance a little!
