Some personality traits that I possess that helps me be a great caregiver would be patience , attentiveness, dependability, trustworthiness, & most importantly compassion. I became a caregiver when I was about 18. I was fresh out of high school , still confused on what I wanted to do with my life. I just knew I wanted to help others & be in the medical field. Something I enjoy the most while being a caregiver is being able to meet & connect with my clients on a more personal level...I love getting to know new people and understanding where they come from in life. Most of all I love being able to be there to help others & possibly make a difference in their lives.
