    Hello, My name is Pavielle my Personality traits that help me be a great caregiver is my patience im a mother of 6 so it comes naturally with the daily tasks. Im also a very compassionate. I also have a great sense of human as well. When I was 23 my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and I was with her every step of the way as her caregiver which made fall in love with the caregiving field because I love to help others. To be able to be the person that someone accepts help from is an honor because I know it's often hard to accept help. I have achieved many great things in my lifetime but my greatest achievement is being 35 and in great health.
