I became a caregiver because I have older adults in my family that needed help and I was available to assist them in whatever they needed. I like the role of a caregiver, it gives me a sense of purpose in someone life other than family members. My experience as a caregiver has taught me enough to know how to care for an older adult, in the nursing home, hospital, or if they choose to be at home where they are most comfortable. I love my job. I learn new things and meet new people with amazing stories to share and I truly love to hear the stories. My personal achievement that I'm most proud of, was being able to be there for my father when he needed me the most. He has always been there for me so now it was my turn to do the caring and I enjoyed it to the fullest and I wouldn't trade that for nothing in the world. I'm good at what I do, my compassion to my job speaks for itself. The people I meet, and the skills I learn, are on a day to day basis. I learn something new everyday and I'm so grateful that God has given me this talent to take care of someone else besides my own. Everybody needs a companion why not let it be me.
