Things that make me a great caregiver would be that I have a lot of patience. Those who provide home care to others need to be patient. I understand that there may be changes in plans, things may not go as quickly as planned, and there may be a little hesitation at times on the part of the person receiving care. Compassion is also something I've always had, I've always put myself in someone else shoes and look at things from different perspectives which helps me have a understanding of what the person is going through. Attentiveness is important . By being attentive, I will notice when there are emotional or physical changes in the person I am caring for. I am very dependable, which is needed on a daily basis and very imperative. Building a personal relationship with the person I am caring for is very is very significant and also falls under TRUST. Caregivers are often in a position that will allow them to have access to the belongings of the person they are caring for. It is crucial that the caregiver be someone who is trustworthy and will not breach that trust by taking advantage of the person her or she is caring for. Things I enjoy most about being a caregiver is making new friends, building new bonds and making someones life happier. A personal achievement I am proud of would be getting my associates in Psychology.
