Hi, my name is Mikia I have been in the caregiving field 3 years. I enjoy getting to know and listen to the ones I am providing services to. What attracted me to being a caregiver was when I was ten years old , having to assist my grandmother who leg was amputated. I enjoyed helping at a young age toileting, assisting her with grooming and hygiene. Since that moment I realized that this was something that I had a passion for even in my adult age. I love seeing the smiles knowing that I was able to make that persons day, allowing them to experience good care from a positive minded , caring person. I'm proud of what I do and I would like to make my residents proud knowing that they have a caregiver that they can trust

The personality traits that make me a great caregiver is patients, love and compassion. I decided to become a caregiver because I was a home health aide for my elderly neighbor she's the reason I decided to go back to school to become a Medical Assistant and later graduated unfortunately she past away before she could see my accomplishment she was so proud of me. A personal achievement I am proud of is graduating Allen School of Health Science and being able to work in a field that I can help others.

Being a hard working and also being kind, caring and having patience and observant along with being aware makes me a great caregiver. I enjoy the satisfaction of the patients reactions to the good work I do. It makes me proud and happy and motivated to know that I'm doing something to help someone that's in need have a better day and help make their lives more easier to get through and know that they have someone around who don't mind helping and cares.

Hello! My name is Nakeisha Woods. I've been a Caregiver/CNA for 6 years. My first job in life was working as a private duty caregiver in an assisted living facility. I enjoyed working with seniors so much, I made my mind up to make it my career. What I enjoy the most about being a caregiver is having the chance to experience that meaningful relationship with your clients. Since my grandparents passed before I was born, it's a plus to get to feel what it's like to have a grandparent, and take a trip down memory with them day by day. One personal achievement I'm proud of is my decision to go back to school. I currently attend Moraine Valley, pursing their Nursing program. If all goes well, I plan to become a private duty RN, maybe have my own company one day!

1. I became a caregiver to make a difference in many people lives who can not care or do some of the things in life that they could do before their health failed them. 2. I Love making patients feel that they still have their independence and that they can still be productive and apart of family and society. 3. I think that obe personal achievement was that I made a decision to be A Certified Nurses Assistant. I have always Loved taking care of the elderly and other people. I have alot of compassion towards their feelings. 4. My name is Diane Ratliff and I'm happily married for 30 yrs. I have 2 beautiful children and 3 wonderful grandchildren.

I am a great care giver because I love helping other young or older. I want people to help me once I'm not able to do things on my own plus someone who would provide care to my family as well. helping others shouldn't be a problem to anyone because at some point of time everyone is going to need a little help and some might need more help then others. I recently just finished taking my nursing classes for a CNA position and soon to return for my LPN because I'm all about helping others in need of it and more. I enjoy having conversations with people I'm a very talkative person and I like to know how others day is going for them. I have two toddlers that I clean teach and care for and its a big job that I love doing and I'm so good at it I want to help others just like I'm helping my grandmother recover from the cancer treatments and surgeries because she needs me so I want to be that person that is willing to help those in need that just me.

I became a caregiver because of the fact that I Love to help others. I have been a caregiver since I was 8yrs old taking care of my ill grandmother and my uncle that had lung cancer. I like being a caregiver to render my services to love to those we need it.

I make sure they are clean make sure they are well fed. Love to cook. I make sure they have their meds very important i dont mind sitting with them and talking i love to make sure they go outside if they are able i feel fresh air is important. I do have a famiy but my children are older so i spend most of my time with my clients and i love doing it

I am a great caregiver because I have been doing it my whole life. I grew up with an elderly father so from the age of about 12 until now I have been taking care of him. From cleaning up for him behind him, and cleaning him I have done it all and am willing to do it all again for other people. What I like about being a caregiver is knowing that I'm helping somebody that can't help themselves, Not to say it in a bragging manner but in a proud honor because i know if they could they would do it themselves. I see it as paying good favors forward because when I am old I hope someone does the same for me.

I have been in this field since 1992.
