I am hardworking, motivated, patient, always willing to lend a hand, trustworthy, caring. I've always wanted to work in health care, I started as a CNA, I've always liked helping others out when I can, I like taking care of others. So that made me want to be a caregiver. What I enjoy about being a caregiver is forming a bond with an individual and being a support system for them. Helping others to be independent. A personal achievement I am proud of is overcoming being quiet and shy. I was always a shy person and very quiet. I would never speak up or try new things. I didn't like change, it made me uncomfortable. So after I graduated highschool. I got my first full time job, It was a new environment to me and new people. So I finally told myself, it's okay! I met so many new people and began to speak up more and not be so shy.
