My personality traits are that I'm a lovely person to be around. I'm always eager to learn. As for expertise I'm still kind of new to the game. I've only done home care so I haven't really learned much. What got me thinking about becoming a caregiver is when my step father had been diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer and I was the only out of his own family who stopped and helped him til the day he passed away. Gave me a good feeling of knowing I was able to help him til his last day. What I like most is the fact I get to help the elderly. Also the fact I've gotten to meet and gotten to know a few people along the way that have caught my heart. Haven't reached a personal goal yet but I'm working on going back to school to go for cna bridge to rn.
