I became a Caregiver because I enjoy helping others and it makes me feel good as a person.The best thing I like about being a Caregiver is the reassurance that you can give the family that their love one is being well cared for in the privacy of their home . My proud moment that I've had as a Caregiver is letting client know that am here to assist them so they can remain confident and also still have their indepence. I've been a Caregiver for about 5+ years . I did the training gained the necessary skills to do the job . I was also a Childcare Provider for about 1 year . With recently completing training to become a License and Certified Nurse's Aide /Assistant .
