I feel what makes me a great caregiver is the fact that l show empathy and compassion to my clients. I start by making them understand that l am there to take good care of them and l want to help them as needed. I became a caregiver because my priority has always been to help people by caring for them, and making them smile. What l like about care giving is the fact that you get to meet new people, with different cultures and personalities. And it does bring on new challenges, which some times end up being a means for constant learning and helps me improve and also develop more skills. One of my personal achievements that am proud of is my being a reliable and dependable caregiver. And with that, the clients knowing l have that quality can get to build their trust and become more comfortable and relaxed to have me taking care of them.
