What makes me a great caregiver is that I'm a caring loving person and I care about my clients/residents and how they feel, I'm a very understanding person, working as a caregiver I consider it my calling not just a job ,I become a caregiver due to being encouraged by my grandmother who is no longer with me, giving her the best care in her last moments and hearing her say you will make a good nurse someday really encouraged me to get in this field, It became a part of me and every person I care for I remember what my granny said to me, So I do it to the best of my ability and each person I touch I try to make a difference in their lives, what I like about being a caregiver is comforting my clients,making them feel safe and secure being there for them just listening to them,understanding their needs ,comforting them and knowing I'm making a difference in their lives.My Personal Achievement is I'm proud I can make someone mom or dad smile and to hear that I'm doing a great job with their family member,and being able to make a difference is what makes the difference

I became a caregiver 12 years ago after my grandmother had a stroke. It was then that I truly realized my purpose. So I decided to leave the corporate workplace and pursue work in the home health care field. I love making a difference in the life of another human being. All people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect no matter what. I practice honesty, loyalty and gratefulness. I'm extremely organized, clean, patient and professional. I come to work each shift with a smile on my face looking forward to seeing, listening to and caring for my client. I'm always considerate of the fact I'm in the clients home and therefore respectful of their space. Time spent there is productive and valued. I'm devoted to living a healthy lifestyle which means preparing and eating quality foods. Exercise is so important as well along with sunshine and fresh air. Of course all in moderation and different for each case. I look forward to meeting the family members and those closest to the client. I will accommodate the client according to their wishes. I strive to make our time together pleasurable and comforting. Thank you!
