I took this kind of job because I have great empathy for the elderly. Being able to give care and support for people who had never asked for help from anyone for anything is an overwhelming and challenging task. I have two roles as a caregiver. The first part is to make sure that my presence is not to take away their independence but to give support if needed and the second part is the impact I give to the family relieving them the burden in caring and making sure that they have the peace of mind knowing that their loved one is safe. The most important part that a caregiver must do is to make sure the elderly live a life with dignity. I believe I would be a good caregiver. I feel comfortable that my experience in elderly care will be of great help to your company. I hope you will consider me as a person not just of my experience but most of all my compassion for the elderly.
