DEAR VANESSA,
My grandparents raised me so seniors hold a special place in my heart. Becoming a caregiver would be a good way to honor them. What will make me a great care provider? I hope to be a nurse in four years.
DEAR CERINA,
A great caregiver has traits and work habits that stand out. Besides the desire to help, you need to demonstrate empathy by being able to put yourself in your client’s shoes to know what it’s like to ask people for help. If you can totally put yourself in the place of who you are caring for, you will do nothing but provide excellent care.
