I believe that what makes me a great caregiver, is in the first place the passion I have, to take care of people who are not able to take care of themselves. I took care of several of my own extended family when they where very sick, and many times imagined myself in their situation. Second,as a caregiver I treat people like my own family, or as I would like someone to treat me if I were in need of a caregiver myself. I became a caregiver because my calling is to serve people who are in need. What I like about a caregiver, is the fact that I can meet new faces, and feel the satisfaction of making someones else's life more pleasant, and peaceful. A personal achievement I am proud of, is to know that I embraced the privilege of taking care of my own when they needed me the most, like my grandmother, mother, sister, father in law and other family members.
