The reason I believe I would be a great care giver is because most of my life I have lived with my elderly grandparents who I had to take care of which makes this job feel more normal for me. What attracted me is that I had no option when I was younger but now that i do this is the only job for me. I enjoy the lessons you can learn from your elders they have a lot to teach but a lot of people do not want to listen. My most proud achievement as a care giver was seeing that even though they were not in the best state of their lives I was able to make them enjoy themselves.
