I have my Bachelors Degree in Nursing and I have 5+ years experience involving nursing home care and hospital care. What attracted you to being a caregiver? I thoroughly enjoy helping people. While working in the nursing home, I was able to create trusting relationships and see improvements in those I took care because they knew they could count on me.

What do you enjoy most about being a caregiver? The relationships that are built and knowing that, even if its a little, my actions are able to help a person live a better life.
