I believe I have became a great caregiver because I treat people the way I would want to be treated as if it was me or a family member of mine that couldn't take care of themselves. I made the choice in 1994 to become a caregiver after visiting a nursing home because I saw a lot of elderly people looking helpless which touched me deeply, so I felt if I worked there I could help them. One achievement that I am proud of right now is overcoming my fears of going back to school for nursing. I am 39 years old I have three daughters ages 21, 19, and 15. I love helping people. I consider myself a down to earth person, I am an emotional person when it comes down to me explaining something that I feel was wrong. I love to work . I am currently in school working towards my nursing career. Hopeful I can come across a job that will pay me by experience.
