My personality traits or expertise are that I try to communicate well with the elderly and try to be as patient as possible to be able to understand their needs. What attracted me to be a caregiver was that I lost my job as a clerk due to personal reasons years ago and well I had to work to support myself and that's when I started as a caregiver and actually I've enjoyed it. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is that I love socializing with them and make them feel that they belong here in this world other than them being depressed about not having anyone to communicate with them as far as their families who are working and not having time to visit with them. My personal achievements was being able to do just about everything possible with the elderly since they all have different moods and are used to having everything their own way. All elderly have different needs and moods every single day so you have to be able to adjust to their needs or communicate with them as best possible and like I said you need to have alot of patience.
