I am a great caregiver because I love being around people and helping them with things that they are not able to do. Being a caregiver is my passion, I do not look at it like a job, but something that I love to do. I feel when you are a caregiver,you are willing to give someone else time and care that they might not get as much at home or even in a facility. My biggest personal achievement is when I can turn one of residents that may have had a bad day, into a better day and put a smile on their face. To me talking with them and having them share stories of their pass, is a pleasure in its own. I have been doing care giving for almost 5 years now and I love it, I am in the process of continuing my education, so I am learning more into the medical field.
