What makes me a great caregiver is my passion to assist and help those that who can't or need assistance with helping themselves, especially the elderly and disabled. My first job as a caregiver was over 20yrs ago when I made the decision to leave school in the middle of training for a medical assistant and take care of my grandmother cause I didn't want to see her go into a nursing facility and little did I know, 6months later, my aunt which was my mother's sister would follow! At that moment I knew this was something I not only enjoyed doing but had a passion for. If I could be there to help & assist as many as I can in their own home so that they want have to go into a nursing or assisted living facility then I feel my purpose here on earth has been achieved. As we know their are some without family members or family members who just can't take care of themselves because of various reasons that don't have a choice but to place their love ones in a facility, so I especially want to be there to help them and give them companionship cause those are the ones who tend to lose hope fast because they don't see their love ones as often and give up on life a lot faster. Not only my clients, co-workers but my family say I always go above and beyond for my clients but that's because I don't look at them as my client, I look at them as my grandmother, grandfather, mom, dad, brother or sister.
