I became a caregiver because of my grandmother who passed away 5 years ago. I enjoy helping others who are in need of help, especially the elderly. My personal achievement was when I saved the life of my client when she was choking on a piece of almond. I was scared for her life, but I managed to keep calm and help her out. I've been in the caregiver field for about 7 years now. I was a PCP (personal care provider) but im currently working for Alta Home Care now. I've been with them for a lil over 6 months.
