Hello, my name is Kimberly and I have been a caregiver, companion or sitter for over 30 years now and I believe that patience is a necessity in this field, and it is one thing that has helped me be a great caregiver. My siblings and I was raised by my grand-aunt while at the same time she was caring for us, she was also the primary caregiver for her mother, which was our grandmother. My aunt took care of my grandmother without any outside help, because back then there were no agencies that would come to the home and render care, just as there were no adult disposable briefs, just cloth. My aunt took care of my grandmother at home until she passed away at 100 years old. Thats what attracted me to being a caregiver. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is letting those who I care for know, that they are important and valued. I enjoy making those I care for feel comfortable and relaxed. I really enjoy it when I can get a gut laugh or at least a smile once a day, because laughing is healing. Overall, what I truly enjoy most about being a caregiver is the rewarding feeling that I get when I know that I have made someone's day a little brighter, because I never know when that day comes, when I will need the same in return, so it humbles me. The personal achievement that I am most proud of is when my aunt received a diagnoses of Alzheimer's and I without hesitation quit my job to take care of my aunt at home full-time. I gave her the same loving and compassionate care that I witnessed her give to my grandma. I took care of my aunt without help, for the last 12 years of her life until she passed away at 101 years old, at home. That is my highly valued personal achievement that I am most proud of in life because, I did it!
