Empathy and compassion. Working with people in a home care setting, it is essential that i feel the desire to want to help. By showing both empathy and compassion, i will let the person know that i care and do what i have to do to help them. Patience. When i work with someone who needs home care it is important that i'm patient and understanding. It helps to sometimes put yourself in the other person's shoes and see what it might be like to ask people for help. Reliable. I am that someone that can be counted on to be there. Example:If I says i'm going to be there to provide home care every Thursday morning, then i will shows up every Thursday morning, unless there is an emergency. Those needing home care services need a reliable and dependable caregiver.(which is me) Trustworthy. Most people who need home care services are in a vulnerable position.

I'm a good caregiver and i'm thats someone who is trustworthy in this regard, as well as in being trusted to keep the client's information confidential. Flexible. As with most things in life, i know home care needs may change and unexpected events can happen. I myself will be prepared to go lwith the flow, being flexible, so that they continue to provide good home care, even if a rigid schedule isn't being followed.
