I believe my most useful qualities in this role are patience and kindness and humor to enjoy the company of both people. Caring for my grandpa inspired me to become a caregiver. I cared for him for 2 years, and through that experience, I learned that I'm passionate about helping people and improving the daily lives of those in need of care. Supporting my grandpa taught me skills like patience, compassion and problem-solving. I learned how to address issues quickly and effectively to ensure my grandpa was healthy and safe. I enjoy working with people and most enjoy jobs where you have one-on-one interaction with others I also like doing work that has the potential to make a difference in someone's life I like making someone smile and doing little things to make a person's day better
