I think my best personality traits that contribute to me being a caregiver are that I am an exceptional listener; people generally tell you exactly what they want if you just listen closely. I am an empathetic, compassionate women who just loves to nurture. What attracted me most to being a caregiver is simply, and not to be redundant, I just want to take care of folks. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is the connection and the relationship that inevitably develops. I love to listen to stories and play games and sometimes just simply sit with people as a comfort for them. I think my most proud achievement isn't necessarily something that ends with a award that I have received or a congratulations. My personal achievement is overcoming my obstacles while always keeping a smile on and doing my best to brighten everyone else's day while I'm at it.
