I am a outside of the box person. I enjoy being innovative in my work: creating new activities, daily schedules, and better systems. I was attracted to caregiving, because I like seeing others become more autonomous. Helping other people simply feel better about life is rewarding to me. It is an emotionally challenging job but I love the challenge. I like the freedom of caregiving. When you're with your client you get to create a space of peace and happiness however that person thinks peace and happiness is. But, one if my proudest moments was when my past dementia clients remembered my name, because he enjoyed the time we spent together.
