I started working as a caregiver when I finished high school in 2006. I have worked in adult family homes, nursing homes, in home care and now I currently work in the hospital. I am a patient, compassionate trustworthy. In addition, I give attentiveness to my clients and am dependable. My reason for wanting to work as a caregiver is mostly towards helping the community. As I have been working with various people, the joy happiness and gratitude one gets from the clients is what keeps me going. One of the achievements am proud of is that as i worked as a caregiver, I went to school and got a bachelors in kinesiology which is the study of body mechanics. With this education, I am able to help my clients with their body mechanics and also myself in safety while taking care of them.
