I would consider myself a great caregiver and also a great candidate for this position. I became a caregiver when my grandfather got sick. There was no one to watch him, and the previous that was hired didn't do her job correctly. I decided to take my chance and learn and start somewhere. I have also been interested in nursing and working in an emergency room. Gathering experience, and gaining new skills help a lot. Getting involved and taking care of someone is one of the greatest feelings ever. You get attached and you want to give them your all while you can. I like being a caregiver because I mentally and physically build with one another. I feel that while they are still here, they should have anything and everything they want. I feel that I am the right one to provide that attention. My personal achievement is helping others to my best of knowledge.
