What makes me a great caregiver is that I take pride in what I do which is helping people. I became a caregiver when my father was hit by a car over 19 years ago and my family and I took turns caring for him and took a liking in just helping still wasn't sure what I really wanted so I took classes at the Sojourner Douglas in phlebotomy, I V therapy, Emt (which I didn't finish than) and later received my CNA, HHA, at the Levindale Geriatric Center then last while working I received my CMT'S. What I like about being a caregiver is me being my own boss making my own work schedule & salary. One achievement that I've done while working as a caregiver is taking care of my grandmother for the last 18 months of her life before passing away due to "CANCER" and she telling me THANK YOU everyday an how proud she is of me to follow in her foot steps because everyone doesn't have the passion or patients for the job.
