when I was growing I didn't have many friends, until this older lady named Betty Dozer, came to me and took a interest in me. she never had any kids, so in way I was her kid. She taught me so many things, but most importantly how to read. she is the reason why I am currently pursuing a degree in therapeutic recreation, so I may work at nursing homes as a activities director. I am very empathetic, and easy to talk to. I love going on walks, playing with animals, and playing bingo. To me a caregiver is to be compassionate, helpful, and understanding. When I interned at Wisteria GArdens for a summer I work with residents to enhance motor, and brain skills. Also I would take them on field trips to walmart, and bass pro. My favorite activity I did with the residents was painting nails, and chatting with the residents.
