my personality traits include respectful, empathetic, strong willed, loving and caring. what attracted me to be a caregiver is knowing that i can help somebody and their families through a difficult time. i lost my grandmother to Alzheimer's in 2009. As much as i wanted to stay home and take care of her i had to go to school and my mother had to work.... when we found a caregiver for her it was like a huge weight was lifted of our shoulders. we knew we could go to school/work and not have to worry about her not eating or taking her medications, or going on a walk and getting lost. i want to be able to give people the same peace of mind i was given and the same care my grandmother was given. the personal achievement im most proud of is coming out of a dark time and still seeing the good/light in everybody instead of the bad/dark in people. the the thing i enjoy most about being a caregiver is helping people.
