I have patience and I love just seeing my patients light up when I come and service them that makes me happy. And the personal achievement I love is getting my patients to confide and trust me

I became a caregiver because of my Godmother. She was in home hospice care back in the year 2000. She was my first patient. I sat with her and read to her during her hospital visits. She later encouraged me to get into hospice because she thought that I am good at crossing people over. I come from a long line of nurses. My mother was an RN, and when she got sick I was the one who took care of her, I told Mom that she was NOT allowed to go through chemo and cancer by herself. I had to help her from start to finish no matter what. When Mom died at home, I was the one who called time of death. I really felt like a doctor at that moment. I could feel the stethoscope around my neck, and the white coat on my arms. (Despite the fact that I was at home in my house clothes.) I love working in senior care because it is just a natural fit for me. My Dad and I took care of his father (my grandfather) when he was in hospice. Thanks to him, one of my neighbors approached me and asked if I could take care of her 90 year old Aunt. So on Thursday's I would go over to her house to hang out, give her meals, help her back and forth to the restroom, and watch her favorite shows: Jepardy! and any baseball game that was on TV. She danced (With the help of her walker) during her 100th birthday party! Sadly she passed at the young age of 104 the day after my Mom died. This year I took care of a Father and his daughter almost at the same time. He had Dementia and she had cancer. After he passed away, I just automatically took care of her. I knew that she would need night help and so her family and I took turns caring for her. That was just so easy for me all because of Mom and my neighbor. I learned so much from them that I finally decided that I should just get my Associates degree in hospice nursing. I don't drive nor do I have a drivers license. However I arrive Super early to jobs because I severely distrust the CTA.

I love helping others.Currently in school for Medical billing and coding,but I'm also a very healthy eater and know a lot about food and natural remedies for health issues. im also experienced,fast and friendly

I became a Caregiver because I wanted to help the elderly as much as possible. I like to be a helping hand to someone who isn't able to do certain things. My personal achievement that I am proud of is just making my clients happy at the end of the day. Knowing that I went in to do a job and I made that clients day a good one. I am I very nice and kind person. I'm very sweet and kind hearted. I have very good patience and have very good time management skills.

Empathy and compassion. Working with people in a home care setting, it is essential that a caregiver feel the desire to want to help. By showing both empathy and compassion caregivers will let the person they are caring for know that they care about the person and want to do what they can to help them. Patience.

Working in a Pharmacy and having many many family members I've had to care for, I have the beginning skills to further my learning to become a awesome home care or in care aide. I've always wanted to help and fulfill my the interest I have in elderly care. I've taken Social Work classes also so I understand the importance of building a bond.

When i experience the work of being a caregiver, made me realize its one job i feel comfortable and like doing.and when you find the work u like to do, thats the only thing that matters, im glad i can be able to help family and get to meet many people.this only job i like and i been doing it for 5 years and this all i will like to continue woking as.
