Well I've never really considered being a caregiver until about 3 years ago. I took over the responsibility and pleasure of taking care of my grandparents in their last years. It was really hard for a while, mentally. But I got accustomed to it. And while doing this for a couple years, I know that it meant a lot to my grandparents to have someone taking care of them, making sure they were okay. Having someone to talk to, and not be lonely. My personality traits that I would consider to make me a great caregiver is my compassion towards others, my empathy, my sympathy, I'm very friendly and outgoing, and I love helping people. Seeing them happy and enjoying their lives gives me a sense of satisfaction that's unexplainable. A personal achievement I would be proud of would have to be leaving my abusive ex. I accomplished so much more being on my own and discovering who I wanted to be and what I wanted for myself. In conclusion, it would be an honor to be able to take care of your family member. I would love them and take care of them as if they were my own.
