For a personality trait I'd say I'm caring towards the elderly and thoughtful of my words. I also go out of my way to make sure any person is comfortable and happy. No matter what I do I try my best and give it one-hundred and ten percent. I started caregiving for my great grandma when she had cancer for over a year before she passed away. I realized that I need to be one after I saw how much of a nice job to have to care and help other people. I mostly enjoy the interaction of not only the resident/patient but also the family being happy to know the patient is taken care of and being payed attention to. I enjoy to make the family and resident happy with my work I do for them. My personal achievement is making one resident I had finally open up to me one day. She was sad she was the only family she had left and that no one visits her anymore. And she wanted to leave this earth. I reminded her that the Lord has her here for a reason and we are always here for her. She just needed someone to talk to and I was happy to be there for her.
