What attracted me to caregiving? Well, that's easy! I have a huge passion for helping others. That started at a very young age. I am compassionate, empathetic, patient, understanding, caring, experienced and knowledgable. I am a Licenced Nursing Assistant. I also hold a current CPR/ BLS/First Aid Card. I have been fingerprinted and background checked with the state of Oregon. I take my job very seriously and the care of my clients very seriously. Nothing is more important than the care of the client. Here are a few traits that I also think make me a great CNA/Caregiver. Patience. Those who provide home care to others need to be patient. Being patient means that the person understands that there may be changes in plans, things may not go as quickly as planned, and there may be a little hesitation at times on the part of the person receiving care. Compassion. When someone has compassion for another they have an understanding of what the person is going through. Attentiveness. It is important when providing home care that the caregiver is attentive to the needs and changes that are taking place. By being attentive, the caregiver will notice when there are emotional or physical changes in the person he or she is caring for. Dependability. Those who need home care don't usually just need it sporadically. Rather it is on a regular basis, so it is imperative that a caregiver be dependable and show up to provide the care that the person needs and is counting on. Trustworthiness. Caregivers are often in a position that will allow them to have access to the belongings of the person they are caring for. It is crucial that the caregiver be someone who is trustworthy and will not breach that trust by taking advantage of the person he or she is caring for.
