Personality traits that I believe make me a great caregiver is that I love being around the elderly, I love listening to their stories and learning something from them. I'm a bubbly person that loves to be around people and spend quality time with them always cracking a joke and keeping everyone in a good mood. What made me want to be a caregiver was taking care of my grandfather and my great grandmother until the passed. I became a lot closer with the both of them and gained wisdom that I'm able to take with me in life. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is not only spending time with the clients but helping them do their favorite hobby or making their favorite meal to put a smile on their face and make them feel cared for. A personal achievement I'm proud of is juggling going to school for phlebotomy and exclusively breastfeeding my first baby who just turned 1 this month, this is the most humbling back breaking experience I've done yet but I love it and I wouldn't change it.
