I have been a caregiver for over 10 years. I started out as a Certified Nursing Assistant ... I am currently a License Practical Nurse, I serve in the capacity as Home Health Nurse/Caregiver. I choose to be a caregiver because of my personality. In my opinion, I really did not become a caregiver, I was born a caregiver as I am very compassionate, caring, kind, loving and very giving of myself. What I like about being a caregiver is result, companionship, the way our relationship always grow for the better after getting to know each other. I get this feeling of accomplishment being a companion caregiver when the patient and family members are pleased with the level of care, added support and value I bring to the table. Eventually we ended up having this kind of family relationship while still maintaining that professional standard. One personal achievement I am extremely proud of is, being the best dad my two sons could ever have. My friends and persons with whom I work always say, "Allan you are a real caregiver" I can truly say that my attitude speaks a lot about my relationships with my patients, I am always patient.
