I possess a good personality for being a caregiver, having a sense of humor is something I have learned over the years actually helps patients in times of need. To be understanding and having compassion is a key to be a excellent caregiver as well. The attraction I had to be a caregiver was the need to help someone who couldn't help themselves. The most enjoyment I receive from being a caregiver is all the stories from when my patients were growing up, their careers and of all meeting the families of my patients. A personal achievement I am proud of is passing a Q&A assessment as an assistant manager of a hotel, in which my boss knew for surely we would fail.
