In my opinion, a great caregiver is dedicated, compassionate, attentive, and generous. Because I possess these qualities and others, I believe that I am an outstanding caregiver with extensive experience. I was my mother's caregivers after she became ill in 1995, and even after she passed away the following year, I felt that this field was my calling. The most rewarding part of my profession is making others smile. Laughter is one of the best therapies, and I use it to engage my clients. The achievement I am most proud of is becoming an advocate for domestic violence victims.
