What makes me a great caregiver; compassion, love, patients. kindness, and most of all, I am a grandchild, and a child to two parents that showed me lots of love, therefore I am able to pass it on. I also have elderly grand parents that lives overseas, that I don't get to see as often, but speak to all the time. I'm happy to know that they are being taken care of well, by sounding family members. I just don't look at my clients as a job, but as a family member, and would treat them the say way I would want my grand parents to be treated, with care, love, and respect. That's why I am a great caregiver. To add to it, I'm out going, and love to have a good laugh. What I enjoy about care giving, the interaction I have with my clients. The amazing stories from their past, that made them who they are, the history, and traditions that they passed on to the younger generation. A personal achievement of mines, that I am proud of, being the first one to graduate college on my paternal side of the family.
