Some personality traits that make me a great caregiver are my abilities to communicate well with the people I am taking care of and to ensure I am doing my best in taking care of the person. Additionally, I work hard to be patient as a caregiver so that the interactions I have with the persons go smoothly. I also try my best to empathize with the people I am taking care of in that way I make them feel welcome and appreciated, I also try my best to pay attention to little details in case a problems occurs I can identify it ahead of time and communicate with other people to try and resolve the problem. What attracted me to becoming a caregiver it the opportunity I would have to nurture for other people. I enjoy helping people and this was an opportunity to take care of people. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver are the conversations I can sometimes have with the people I am taking care of (if their medical situations allows). Most of the elderly are in vulnerable positions, having others take care of them, and It is important to have someone they can trust and talk to. I learn so much from the elderly and they learn about me and my cultural background, if they ask. Some of the personal achievements I am proud of include being thanked by family members for the work I am doing. About me: My name is Allaysia McDonald and I have been a caregiver for 2 years, I have experience in seniors family homes and nursing home I have been a caregiver for all age groups and people with various medical conditions including disabilities.
