One of the characteristics that make me a good caregiver is empathy. With empathy, I am able to get a personal connection/understanding of my patient which is vital. With empathy, my patient can create a sense of calamity and trust for those being cared for. Another characteristic is patience. You must have patience to care for your patient. Your patient may not be self-sufficient enough to express themselves which can lead to outburst and frustrations. Reliability is essential to being caregiver. Your patient relies and depends on your care. I love caring for others that can't care for themselves. "It's very rewarding to know that you are making a positive difference in someone's life." Since I have became a caregiver, I am proud that able to care for my mother at home and others in nursing home facilitates
