I am compassionate loving and a caring person I believe that everyone needs to be treated with the utmost respect What attracted me to becoming a caregiver was when my grandmother passed away in a nursing home due to neglect so I automatically knew once I grew up my mission was to help others that were not able to help themselves what I enjoy most about being a caregiver is that I'm connecting with the person and their family getting to know them more and what they like and what they don't like I would say My Personal Achievement is to see people happy and smiling and being comfortable enough with me to express how they feel that guarantees me that I have a friend for life
