Some of my personality traits that make me a good caregiver are that I am very compassionate, I love helping people, I love making people smile. What attracted me to be a caregiver was my mother has been an STNA for 13 years and I saw how she helped people, and how she cared for them and also how loving and caring elderly people are. Some things that I enjoy most about being a caregiver is sitting and talking to the elderly people and listing to their stories, assisting them with care, listing to the families when they tell me stories of what their loved one used to do when they where younger. A personal achievement that I am proud of is becoming an CNA.
