Personality traits or expertise that help you be a great caregiver: I learned a lot about the caregiving job not only thru the annual video trainings and seminars from different agencies but also thru a lot of different cases I've experienced throughout my 13 years in the caregiving industry. What attracted you to be a caregiver: I always have the heart of helping people especially the elderly who for the most part are helpless in some aspects of their lives. What do you enjoy most being a caregiver: I enjoy my job when I finished the work/routine that I have to accomplish for the patient. And when the patient is having good progress through my patience in helping them. What is the personal achievement you are proud of: I feel it an achievement when the patients are satisfied with my job and at the same time showed progress in their daily lives.
