1. I became a caregiver because I was not happy with the care that I saw given by a nursing home faciluty that my aunt was in. I felt the only way to make it better for the elderly was to take an active role in their care. 2. I like the companship of the elderly clients. I learn a lot from them and their life experiences. I also enjoy making them smile. 3. My greatest personal achievement is overcoming addiction. I am 11 years clean and sober. 4. I love caring for people, making them comfortable, and making them happy. I love taking care of my grandchildren.
