Caregiving has been part of my family tradition. Iam a very patient person that helps me to be a great caregiver. Working with elderly, we need to be patient, since life has slowed down for them , we need to go on their pace not ours. What attracted me to be a caregiver is that , back home its a joy for us to take care of our elderly family members. For 18yrs i worked for The Salvation Army in Fiji , I managed care facilities that housed victims of defilement ,rape and domestic violence. There were clients who were old, displaced , disabled and homeless. Caring for people with different kinds of needs became part of my life. What i enjoy most about being a caregiver is that when i see those under my care are happy, fullfilled,content inspite of their medical condition. I enjoy when i see that i had made a difference in someones life. The achievement iam proud of is that in the past i had taken care of very severe dementia clients. I had cared for some clients for above years in a row. I had learnt a lot on the job and that experience i gained is what makes me proud.
