When it comes to me being a great caregiver it takes patience, loyalty, empathy, compassion, reliability and a positive attitude, which is me. Always treating people the way you want to be treated. Being able to communicate, solve problems and having the basic medical knowledge on how to give care to a person in need is important. The love I have for helping people is what attracted me to provide care for people. What I enjoy most of all is getting to know a person and doing what I can to make them happy and comfortable. Sometimes all it takes is being a listening ear. My personal achievement that I am most proud of is the positive impact that I have on making lives better by building a strong relationship. Having that dedication and trust is important.
