My personality traits or expertise that would help me be a great caregiver are my bubbly personality, my honesty and my integrity. I am someone who is very compassionate and caring when it comes to providing care to others. I am reliable and have excellent communication skills both verbally and personably. What attracted me to this caregiving position was the details that were in the original job listing. The job listing was very descriptive and from what it sounds, it seems like I would get along and understand the client on a personal level. I like interacting with others and I really enjoy helping others. What I enjoy the most about caregiving is building that relationship with the client and getting to know them. It feels really special when you know that you can help someone and make their life just a little bit more easier. Providing that care and creating that bond is special, It takes a lot of time, but in the end it's always worth it. One personal achievement that I am specifically proud of is going to school and taking all of the courses I've been participating in. I never thought that I was ever going to be one of those kids that went college and graduated but I am extremely close to getting my degree and have maintained good grades despite all of the bumps in the road that I've overcame.
