I became a caregiver in 2007 when my grandmother became really sick with congestive heart failure, I also started caring for my uncle in 2011 who is paralized waist down and he had a decubitus on his back so I did wound care too.My grandfather had congestive heart failure and he needed a caregiver so I started working for him in 2012.In 2013 I started working for IHSS in Yolo County for this nice elderly man.What I like about being a caregiver is I get to help elderly people and keep them happy and comfortable. I like getting to meet new people.My personal achievement im very proud of is I completed my job with my clients.Im a very nice person to be around im very friendly, outgoing, and im a peoples person being a caregiver means so much to me this is the kind of work I enjoy doing I lost both of my grandparents so being around my elders means alot to me.
