I believe my nursing experience Helps me to be a great caregiver. I was working for a friend before I started taking care of my first client. I took care of her for a little over a year before she passed away. She had two different kinds of dementia, and we loved each other. I helped her with everything. I wasn't working as a caregiver. I was working for a friend of mine in another field, but the clients daughter called me and asked me if I would take care of her and I agreed and we were a good fit. She trusted me and I cared about her a lot. I love being a caregiver because it's rewarding and helping other people touches something in my heart and makes me a happy individual. Proud of the fact that I achieved my goal of becoming a nurse, but I was disappointed when I couldn't continue working as a nurse in the hospital setting. But being a caregiver gives me back that feeling of caring about people and helping them with their needs and their illnesses.
