Caregivers must be good listeners and empathetic conversationalists. They should be detail-oriented, diligent problem solvers and have technical medical skills to apply to patients as needed. __In my last role as a home health aid, my client was feeling depressed. After a long, heartfelt talk with him, I learned he missed going outside. It's something so simple but was having a negative impact on his life. love helping people. I wanted to become a caregiver because I've always had a soft spot for seniors and wanted to make a difference in their lives. My favorite part about the job is spending quality time getting to know your client, learning about their life and routine and need's. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing your client happy. My personal achievement I'm most proud of is being so passionate about my work!
