PERSONALITY TRAITS The personality traits and expertise that helps me to be a great caregiver includes my love for God and unconditional love for others. I am innately calm, compassionate, unselfish, honest, cheerful, understanding, kind, respectful, sensitive to the needs of others and have strong interpersonal skills. As a caregiver, I am responsible, a problem-solver, concerned for the care and safety of my patients/clients, reliable, trusting, level headed, mature, caring, patient. ATTRACTION TO BECOME A CAREGIVER I was attracted to become a caregiver when I became the only one called upon to care for my mother after she was stricken with a stroke. It was truly a test of my patience and endurance, however, I realized how rewarding it was to provide care and how much it meant to the one being cared for. AS A CAREGIVER : I enjoy most the results of performing to the best of my ability and helping those who cannot help themselves. To me, caring for others is a testimony of unconditional love and giving. PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT The personal achievement I am most proud of is when I decided to give up my job, put my family on hold, travel to another city and put the care of my mother FIRST, after she suffered a sudden stroke and could no longer take care of herself. I never envisioned being in such a position, but by the grace of God and the skills He provided, my mother is still with us.
