I believe the personality traits that I carry that help me be a great caregiver are compassion and patience and caregiving has definitely helped strengthen those traits. What initially attracted me to be a caregiver was just knowing that I could help someone that was in need. I enjoy helping others and making great relationships down the line as well. What I enjoy the most about caregiving is learning about my resident and becoming acquainted with them, I always enjoyed when residents would tell me all about their life, it was nice having a resident reminisce and be able to share that memory. A personal achievement I am proud of is being able to have the opportunity to work and go to school.
