What makes me a great caregiver? I’m a great caregiver because it is most important to me that a client needing a caregiving service should be treated with RESPECT and DIGNITY. I am therefore compassionate, emphatic, friendly, patient and understanding to any client I am assigned to. I am also conscious to privacy and confidentiality issues, and sensitive to the need of patients/client to be as independent as possible. If client needs to have a healthy conversation on something that interests them, I can engage with them to make their social life as normal as possible. I take pride of having high emotional intelligence to be in control of myself and not reactive; thus, responding promptly with calmness to what needs to be done. I have gained knowledge and skills to enable me perform the procedures in caring for a patient/client by undergoing a required certificate course as well as through experience. I continue to seek trainings to update my knowledge and skills. Why did I become a caregiver? I became a caregiver because I consider it as an opportunity to perform duties that would be MEANINGFUL in my life. I have a big heart for anyone needing a caregiving service, and therefore see caregiving as a calling for my heart and soul to pursue. What do I like about being a caregiver? It gives me satisfaction and happiness to provide CARE as a professional service to anyone needing it. I find the nature of caregiving service to be in agreement with my being SELF-MOTIVATED, HONEST, and COMPLIANT with the CARE PLAN and the rules and regulations in relation to home health care. What is a personal achievement I am proud of? I am proud of having found the field of caregiving as a meaningful profession that matches my own character and interest. I am also proud that I am now a licensed as Home Health Aide by the Board of Nursing, New Jersey.
