Good caregivers need patience to deal with anything from an elderly person. 2: it's my passion. I enjoy taking care of elderly people and would like to help others. I like older adults and feel I can get along with them. 3: what I enjoyed most is that I get to help families take care and spend time with the elderly. With me they learn new things and don't feel neglected. 4: personal achievement- I get creative when I have to, flexibility, determination.
