I have always been a caregiver and always enjoyed it, even before I officially became one. I extensively took care of my ailing mother-in-law before she passed, I took care of my mother and father, and my ex-husband. It only made sense for me to carry that on to others since I am good at it and enjoy it. If I were to choose a different job, it would still be in healthcare. I am passionate and enjoy helping people. I am also patient, diligent and I love to encourage my patients. It brings joy to my heart knowing that I was there to guide a person on their road to recovery or to comfort them and be a companion when they are ill. One of my many proud personal achievements is when I took care of a patient and now a close friend; she was so grateful for my care for her that she hired me to take care of her mother before she passed.
