What makes me a great caregiver is the passion i have for helping others, especially elderly or anybody who has a hard time taking care of themselves due to illness or whatever the case may be. I decided I loved doing this when my grandmother was fighting for her life, I wanted her to be as comfortable as possible. I also enjoy conversating with those who have nobody else to help them and feel lonely. My biggest accomplishment was helping a younger girl gain confidence when she was sick and losing her hair, and people would make fun of her. Now she lives life to the fullest and fights everyday. I love helping people and making them comfortable and to not think they're just wasting their lives away. Especially to those who have do not have family or have family members that are too busy or don't have the paitence anymore to deal, as we all know life does get in the way of a lot of things.
