I am a great caregiver because I love my clients! I am interested in their lives and what they love to do as much as I am interested in their well-being.

God placed me on this earth to be at service for others, and being a caregiver gives me the opportunity to do just that. What I like most about being a caregiver is the smile on the faces of my clients when they are receiving genuine and compassionate care. I have worked in a nursing home setting, in client home setting , and in a group home setting. The place that I like to work most is in the home of my client, because in their homes they are more comfortable and allowed to be themselves. I am fun loving, good spirited, and easy going. I love people and I work best with people. Most importantly I am honest and very dependable, and I take the care of the elderly very serious.

I became a caregiver after taking care of my stepfather that later died of Bone Cancer. I always wanted someone else to have the same care that my family and I was able to do for my stepdad.. I enjoy being a caregiver because I'm able to allow someone to remain in their own home and keep as much of their dependency as possible. My personal achievement is continue to learn and embrace the elderly. I am a very patient individual, always willing to learn new things. I enjoy meeting new people and learning their background.

I became a caregiver because my mother has been a caregiver all of my life. Therefore, it was instilled in me the importance of caring for others that could not do it for themselves. I was taught humility, patience, being kind, reliable, compassionate, empathetic, trustworthy, and being transparent to other people needs. Using all of these traits, I have developed a passion for being a caregiver. I love meeting new people and learning from them. I also love the companionships and relationships that are built. The relationships allow the perfect opportunity for personal growth. I have cared for individuals with mental and physical disabilities for the past 2 years. It has been the most rewarding experience of my life. During this time, I was able to witness experiences of a lifetime with them. Attending festivals, shopping, concerts, dinner and movie outings, and events became the highlight of my life and the source of my greatest achievement. They even surprised me at my college graduation! I have established life-long relationships while being a caregiver.
