Why i become a caregiver?
I become a caregiver because taking care of kids is kinda like my speciality i would say since i help my mom take care of kids before, i was like 12 or 13 when the kids were like 3 or 5 years old and they seem to be very fond of me.

Why i love my job?
Taking care of kids is something that helps me understand them better. Seeing them being creative and adventurous is something i have done when i was yournger, so i kinda relate with that. I will take the kids to the park for awhile, play games, do some art, bake, or anything fun to keep the kid active, safe and happy.

What makes me good at it?
I connect with the kids by getting to know them better slowly step by step, understand their motives and intuitions. I have worked in a day care center as a volunteer before and i have communicate with the kids by like asking them simple questions that they can answer easily or for them introduce themselves, of course i will introduce myself first so they can be less nervous and more comfortable when getting to know me. Then when getting to know them better, they’ve grew fond of me very quickly but mostly this one little boy got very attached to me and he was very sweet. He was a troublemaker and causes trouble for the other kids even the teachers, so i had a way to calm him down by telling him to stop and relax to which he did. When telling him to sit down next to me and he have been quiet the whole day just laying his head on my lap just watching the movie since it was a movie day for the kids so its was a pretty calm day for everyone.
