* What are your personality traits or expertise that help you be a great caregiver? I'm compassionate, patient, and responsible--traits that really developed while caring for my dad. I've learned how important it is to be emotionally present, to listen, and to stay calm even in difficult situations. I've also become very good at organizing medications, keeping routines, and adjusting to changing needs--all skills that help me provide reliable care. * What attracted you to being a caregiver? Caring for my dad showed me how meaningful it can be to support someone you love through challenges. What started as something I did out of love became something I truly valued. It made me realize how important caregivers are and how powerful it is to help someone maintain dignity, comfort, and independence. * What do you enjoy most about being a caregiver? What I enjoy most is the connection and trust that forms. Being there for my dad gave me a deeper understanding of his needs, both physically and emotionally. It's rewarding to know that I can make a difference in his day, even through small things like a shared conversation or just being present when he needs support. * What is a personal achievement you are proud of? I'm proud of how I was able to help my dad stay at home and feel safe and cared for. There were tough times--physically and emotionally--but I stayed committed, learned as I went, and became stronger because of it. I'm proud of the patience I developed, and of how much I grew as a person during that time.
