My personality traits that has helped me to be a great caregiver are paying attention to details, great communication skills, very patient person ,compassionate and willingness to provide care to people. I was attracted to being a caregiver because i have always had the love to care for people. I used to care for my grandmother before her death to make life as a senior easy for her. I assisted to make meals, helped in bathing, dressing her and other chores in her home. I enjoy the fact that i can provide care for people who cannot help themselves. I love the idea of helping them make simple decisions daily and being around for them so the they feel happy again. There is an personal satisfaction when i see my seniors happy to see me,because they know sincerely its always a great time together.
