I became a caregiver after I was working in a nursing home for 3 years while in high school and decided I wanted to help people, so I went to get my certification. I love being able to help people and talk to them and they will know I will always be there for any needs they need. I am proud of being successful with being a caregiver and I feel that I am successful because my goal is to always help as many people out as I can and I usually am very well liked by all residents and it is very easy to be able to have a conversation with anyone. I am 21 year old woman who is wanting to work with residents again because I was not able to continue working at my other job because my school schedule was a conflict with it, but now I am on a break from school until July of 2015 and would like to start a new job with new faces to be able to help as many people as I can and make a difference in their life. I love to make sure people feel good about themselves and always look on the positive side of things and try to always find a solution that works.
