I'm interested in working as a caregiver because I want to improve the level of care provided to the senior population. I've learnt from my previous health care experiences that connection and attention to detail are important traits in caregivers for this age group. This can help this population's every day quality of life. Through this role, I'd hope to contribute to that and try and improve the care that this group receives.
