My personality traits that I think would make me a good caregiver are patience, always very helpful, determined, as well as very dedicated. What attracted me most about wanting to be a caregiver was watching my grandmother grow older through time, needing assistance and help and needing someone she can trust to be there through these times opened my eyes to how everyone would want their older loved one to be taken care of. I enjoy helping residents because knowing that I can be someone they trust with helping them with any and everything makes me feel good as a person, because I believe everyone should be comfortable at all times despise what they go through knowing they can be themselves and enjoy the help makes me happy knowing I'm doing my job right.
