My personality traits and expertise helps to be qualified and makes me a great caregiver because I am very easy to get a long with, and I enjoy working with the elderly. I have more than 5+ years working with the elderly/disabled and have not had an issue with my clients. What attracted me to becoming a caregiver was when I was 17 n in my Junior my year of high school, I was working on becoming a CNA, and I just loved talking with the elderly in the nursing home every time I had to go to the facility for the classes. However, I unfortunately didn't get to take the test to become a CNA, due to school. Well, years later, my aunt needed a home provider, and I was available, although, she didn't have anyone that was reliable to work with her. I enjoy working with those individuals in need of assistance, whether young or elderly, it's in my nature to help others. The one achievement I'm most proud of was acquiring my GED, after so many attempts before, also im currently in workimg progress of getti g my diploma in Psychology, therefore, I am certified in "Mental Health Studies - Suicide, Violent Behavior and Substance Abuse." I've also have 4 other certificates that I've completed, unfortunately I don't have the funds to pay for my certificates at the moment. But once I do, I will put it towards my certificates and continue pushing myself further towards my goals.
