* I'm empathetic and patient, with strong communication skills that help me understand and respond to others' needs. I'm also detail-oriented and organized, ensuring tasks are completed efficiently. My training and courses in college (medical terminology, anatomy, etc. equips me to provide high-quality care. * I was drawn to caregiving because it allows me to positively impact people's lives and treat them with dignity. Providing support and comfort to those in need is fulfilling, and I'm passionate about helping individuals maintain their independence. * The most rewarding part is building relationships with the people I care for. I cherish connecting with them, learning their stories, and providing companionship. Knowing I can make a difference and bring a smile to their face is incredibly fulfilling. * One personal achievement I'm particularly proud of is when I cared for an elderly woman with advanced Alzheimer's. Initially, she was often agitated and resistant to care, but I took the time to learn about her life, her favorite music, and her past experiences. By incorporating these elements into her daily routine, I was able to create a calming and familiar environment, significantly reducing her anxiety and improving her overall quality of life.
