The personality traits that help me be a great caregiver are how much compassion I have, my patience, I'm very empathetic, detail oriented, and personable. What attracted me most about being a caregiver is the way I was raised, I grew up with my grandparents who were RNs & also helped assist in the raising of my younger siblings. I have always had a very strong nurturing side. I enjoy the relationships that are built and the wisdom you learn from each resident you come across the most from caregiving. Helping people makes me feel good. A personal achievement I am proud of is getting to travel around the US at a very young age and visiting many State Parks on my own.
