What makes me a great caregiver is being able to show empathy and compassion, to see my assignment more a ministry and calling than "work". I love people and working with families. I chose this area of work because it relates to my persona in that i am a natural , caring person by nature. My greatest achievements are when I am able to see results from the care and compassion I give. For example, when I have successfully been able to transition a patient from a state of "depression" to a sense of well-being and hope. I integrate this by instilling positive attitude, care and love for my clients with genuineness . I enjoy what I do and love getting up in the morning to make a difference the patient and families' lives. Additionally, I feel that I am better capable of caring for families given my wealth of experience from working with children in primary education as a certified childcare giver to going into the medial capacity working with families of all ages including geriatrics. I have worked in the medical field for over 20 years with the last of my years as a Medical Assistant in Orthopedics.
