I am patient, compassionate, accommodating, hardworking, and positive. I am also a good listener, and enjoy interacting with people. I greatly enjoy assisting seniors as this type of work provides me the opportunity to use my caregiving skills in serving the needs of the elderly. One of the most rewarding aspects of being a caregiver is knowing that I am making a difference in someone's life. In a previous caregiving job, my client showed improvement in mobility, appetite and mood after I began caring for her.
