The love and willingness to help people, being a professional, and ability to do my job, help me be a great caregiver. Having nurses and people in my family in the medical field was amazing to me growing up. I always wanted to do soming in the medical field and this is what l am, im good at my profession and i love it. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is helping my client, making my client fill envolved, making them comfortable and having trust in my abilities, puts a smile on my face My personal achievement im proud of, is me having the pleasure of working with one of my quad patients, he made me feel like we where family not the other way around. He love to eat and if you can cook wow your doing great, he loved when i came to work because he would like to eat my culture food especial my fried chicken and gumgo ect. One day on my day off i was told not to come to work that evening because he had passed away, i was sad about it but, what made me happy was the fact that he loved my food and that made him very happy and it made me happy and proud and still today it puts a smile my face just thinkimg about it.
