What makes me a great caregiver is the fact that I have empathy, compassion, patience, and I'am very trustworthy. I like to think that I have a natural urge to help others and being able to help others is a priority. I became a caregiver because my dream is to become a registered nurse and an RN, your main priority and job is to help others in need. I have always enjoyed assisting people in a way I could and seeing them happy and content with my help is enough of an accomplishment for me.
