What makes me a great care giver. From a young age, I have always loved looking after people and helping in any way I can. My younger sister was born when I was 10 years old. I really enjoyed looking after her and watching her grow that I decided I would also enjoy looking after children when I was older. As I gt older I started looking after my grandparents and it made me realise that patience and understanding go a long way. it takes a lot for an individual to give up control and trust someone to look after them. Being a care giver not only means looking after a vulnerable individual because they are unable to look after themselves. it means caring about their welfare and treating them with dignity and respect the same way you would want to be treated. Understanding this is what makes me good at what I do I became a caregiver because I simply enjoy being there for people when they are no longer able to care for themselves Personal achievement Having had to stop my studies several times due to unforeseen circumstances I could have easily given up. But Wat kept me going was knowing that it may not look possible now but 1 day wen things settled down I would continue to achieve Wat I am passionate about. The fact that I am already so close to finishing what I only dreamt of years ago reason to keep going but a drive to push myself and achieve more.
