I became a caregiver because I enjoy helping individuals who can no longer care themselves independently. I enjoy being a caregiver because I feel that I am making a personal contribution to that individual's life, by assisting them with the activities that they can no longer do by themselves, however at the same time maintaining their dignity they have by allowing them to do the activities that they can do by themselves. My personal achievement is simply seeing the individuals I've cared for improve and thrive as a result of my care that I have given them. I am a soft-spoken person by nature, and I feel that is something that the people I have cared for have come to like and appreciate about me.
