One thing I feel makes a great caregiver is having a heart to care for someone loved one. As for me I look at each person as if they could be my mom or dad and that is where my loving comes in. The reason why I became a caregiver because I enjoy helping people. And why I like being a caregiver is I have the chance of everyday to make it my mission to put a smile on there face in what ever way I have to do it. A personal achievement of mine was when I was able to assure a family member that their mom was able to handle having my in the house. And that gave them confidence to be at peace.
