I feel what would make me a great caregiver is that I already work with clinical patients so I know what it is like to be hands on. I've also worked at a daycare so I know what it's like to be patient with everyone because you never know what they're going through or what they've been through. I am currently going to school for nursing because I took care of my grandparents till the very end. I knew what it felt like if someone mistreated them or how "bothered" they felt if we had to go out of our way. I never feel like someone is a bother because if it was me I would want the help, but by someone so is willingly trying to understand.
