What makes me a great caregiver is that I am genuine in what I do and I have been in this field for 10 years plus. I am very understand, patient, and an all around kind hearted person, I love to laugh and tend to always brighten up my patient's days. I decided to become a caregiver when a really close friend of mine was diagnosed with Cancer. I was the only one who was there for him and I took classes and decided that it was meant because I always would naturally care for my grandmother who was going to dialysis when I was growing up I would always make sure she had what she needed throughout the day before school and after school. I developed a strong love for caring for others. The most I enjoy out of being a caregiver is my patient's' response to me when I make them feel better or get done with doing something they really wanted me to do or needed done I really enjoy making their day or seeing them smile thru what they're going through and knowing I had something to do with. I am proud of myself for nursing over 20 patients some I can call up right now and have the most beautiful conversation with and some that are watching over me as I continue this journey with others like them. I love what I do and I am ready to keep going!
