Empathy and compassion. Working with people in a home care setting, it is essential that I feel the desire to want to help. By showing both empathy and compassion I will let the person that I am caring for know that I care about them and want to do what I can to help them. Patience.

I became a caregiver because I have the ability to take care of people, and also enjoy the job itself. I'm a 21 year old college student who's pursuing my degree further into medicine. I'm in my fourth year of college, have 40 hours of volunteering in OT Rehab, and have been working as a caregiver/home health care for over 3 years. I love working around people, especially the elderly.
