I believe I am a great caregiver, because I am a very caring and outgoing person. I am also A very positive person who is always encouraging others. I wanted to become a caregiver, because I love helping others and it will help me in the future when I become a nurse. The one thing I enjoy most about being a caregiver is having the company of the client to be there to talk to and make them smile. A personal achievement that I am proud is being able to help others in a positive way.

I am a wonderful caregiver because I am compassionate, reliable, and friendly. I do all I can to help my charge be comfortable and respected. One of my greatest accomplishments was providing care to a hospice patient at her request. My service includes cooking, running errands, transporting, laundry, light housekeeping, etc. Finally, I am flexible.

I am a very pleasant person. I like to smile. I became a caregiver because I like to help people. I have been in the healthcare field for 18 years. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is making a positive difference in families life.

I have been a caregiver for over 10 years. I really like helping others and the personalized one on one interaction and relationship built overtime with the client. It's really nice to know that you can make a difference in someone's life. I'm a single mother of a 3 yrs boy. One of the biggest challenges in my life today is helping my son cope with his speech delay. One of my biggest achievement was graduating with a BS in science.

After many years working for large companies, I wanted something more personal. More meaningful. Being a caregiver you can make a difference in someone's life. It's the little things...like making a chocolate pie! A client I had many years ago had a liver transplant. I was with him for months. He made a full recovery and has resumed his hobbies. This man had a strong desire to recover, and I had a strong desire to do everything I could to make it happen. I am considerate and kind. Giving whatever I can to make someone feel better, even for a moment. I have a great sense of humor and try to make my clients laugh or feel just a little lighter. I have realized that I've been given many gifts in life to share with others.

As an MSW student, caring for others is my passion. The Lord has blessed me with the gift of compassion and empathy. For these reasons I am considered a friend by my clients and a source of real help and understanding by their families. As an adult, a grandmother, in fact, I have a real understanding of life's trials and tribulations. furthermore, this understanding, and knowledge of the need for mentoring, care, and support in all of life's challenges prompted me to pursue an advanced degree at this stage in my life. I am quite proud of my last years in school. There is nothing like conversing and debating with young people about life's issues. We all learned a lot from those conversations and it made me feel like I truly had input into their lives and the way that they think about life's circumstances. Of course, I learned too. I can promise to give your loved one(s) the care that not only you want them to have but the care that they deserve as Children of God.

I am an easy going and full of energy individual who would love to be a companion for someone special . I have personally cared for numerous relatives over the years and I found it so rewarding and enchriching for me .
