I had a grandfather and a brother in law that were sick. I took care of them. After my dad passed away I decided I will be a caregiver because I know there many people out there that need care. I'm patient, kind and understanding when it comes to my patient i treat them how they deserve to be treated. If any one need help I'm glad to help out.

The reason for becoming a caregiver is that I wanted more 1 to 1 interactions with patients being that working at the hospital patients come and go and it's extremely difficult to build relationships. I have since taken care of a patient (hired privately) for 3 years and she has now passed. I am looking to care for someone wholeheartedly & willing to build relationships with the family as well in order to achieve the best quality of life to those in need.
