Some of the best caregiver traits i have are I am patient, compassionate and hard working. I am willing to take the time out to help with different jobs so they are done well and show compassion to those who are needing extra care from me. I believe it is okay to ask for help when it is needed so my willingness to help comes from a place of experiences and someone who is always going the extra mile to lend a helping hand. I am attracted to becoming a caregiver because I have always helped people. It is part of me with having a mother that suffered a brain aneurysm and lost her short-term memory and a mother-in-law that requires extra help in her everyday living. They both want to be independent as much as possible but with my help and guidance I can encourage them to ask for help and assist when needed. Knowing I can take some of the burden of their shoulders and make it easier for them is all I strive to do. I enjoy spending time with others and making connections with new people as well. I've always been proud that I can listen and understand what people are going through and can help with has to be done in the situation.
