I have good personality traits when it comes to taking care of the elderly. I can be very patient and concerned. The one thing that attracted me to being a caregiver are when I had to be my mom's caregiver for a year at my place. I bathed her every morning, shampooed her hair, clipped her toenails, file them, dressed her, shaved her chin wild hairs. I prepared dinner, breakfast, she fed herself, she even take her medicine each day. Prepare her medicine tray for 30 days, take a prescription to the pharmacy for refills each month, grocery shop, run errands, take her to the doctor as needed, read her mail, make calls as needed.
