I thought about becoming a caregiver after helping my sister in law take care of her great grandmother for almost a year, before she passway. We both took turns taking care of her we did a very good job. She help me a lot and taught me how to become a good caregiver. After acouple years I thought maybe I should try to become a caregiver and now I been working for my current job for about three years now. I love my job I enjoy making my client feel like there not alone. As a caregiver I like to interact with my clients do activities such as crossword puzzle, read the newspaper, watch tv, sometimes take a walk. The most thing I can say that attract me to being a caregiver, is just seeing my client Smile! I always make sure there happy and comfortable with me helping them, with there everyday needs. I believe I am a very good cargiver to all my clients. I take the time to have good companionship I try my best everyday day to make sure that there are well taking care of! That is my goal to make all my clients feel happy!
