Traits that help me be a great caregiver are I'm patient, compassion, attentive, dependable, and trustworthy. What attracted me to being a caregiver is because my sophomore year of high school I was offered to take the class and cps would pay for it. I took the class, passed, and ended up with my first Cna job at 17. I truly enjoy the elder and knowing that I can do things to make them feel comfortable as possible brings joy to my heart. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is growing bonds with my residents. A personal achievement I'm proud of is not quitting when there's been times I just wanted to ball up and cry due to this field.
