What I believe makes me a great caregiver is the patience that I have for my patients. I love to help others and if I can help family members in any way shape or form then that makes my job 100 times more enjoyable. I have about 3 years of experience caring for the elderly (geriatrics). I worked 2 years at a nursing facility and I am currently working as a home health aide and have been a home health aid for a year now. I have my Certified Nursing Assistant (C.N.A) License. The personal achievement that I am most proud of is the amount of feed back I receive from not only the family members but my patients as well which lets me know that I am doing exactly what I have to do. I have a very outgoing personality which allows me to connect with both the family members and the patients. One of my main goals is to make sure that the patient is comfortable around me because I am there for them and their needs.
