I have in in the care industry for some time some of the skills I have needed include

practical skills. I consider myself an expert and I do not let my guard down as a care

professional. I have always found ways of being self-confident and dealing with criticism from

any angle they might arise from. I have also learned to work under pressure and in extremely

demanding situations. I always find the path to do my duty with the zill and the morale needed.

One thing I have known is the art of appreciating myself through the work I do in care. Some of

my weaknesses in the practice care set up include those of negligence, I don’t want to admit it

but, negligence has been the core issue that gets to me and could destroy my career, I am

working around that and I recognize the fact that I need assistance in it. I can rate myself highly

competent in the practical skills but being let down by negligence

I have a strong work ethic and I respect the privacy and the dignity my patients dissave. I

usually protect the privacy of my patients. I find it difficult to share the issues relating to my

clients unless it is necessary. I have self-control even in cases that require exposure, I usually try

to redeem discrete information relating to my patients. My weakness with the information related

to patients come when relating a situation of one patient to another, I do not expose the client

obviously, but I relate and it also comes in a case where there is a dilemma of information, in

cases where it is necessary to give out information for help. My competency level in the privacy

and dignity of the client is high and some of these dilemmas are a common occurrence in care.

Initially, empathy and respect were one of my weaknesses in my line of profession, I

never really related to the aspects of my clients. I have made misstates in terms of empathizing

with the client. These mistakes have yielded situations that are not pleasant in the life of a care

officer. However, today I can empathize and sympathize with the issue the client's faces, I have

learned the art of controlling myself and looking at the issue with the spirituality they dissave

before giving a treatment or an intervention plan. My weakness in these interventions comes

where it is in consideration of the diverse aspects that clients sometimes portray, dealing with

different people at a time, but I am working on them. I respect the clients I work with but

understanding some is not easy for me. My competent levels in empathy are well beyond

average, I am learning to deal with different social settings or backgrounds.

I have been able not to disclose any information relating to my client, not even once. I

take my client's confidentiality seriously and as a matter of a professional need. I do not feel

good to disclose my client confidentiality, all the information I obtain from my clients remain

with me, and in cases where there is an extreme need for intervention will I involve other parties

that might want to want to pop in and help in the situation, which is a professional courtesy. I

think I do not have issues with the way I handle my client’s information and my competency

level in this is excellent, I am very competent in terms of the client’s discretion.

Some of the importance of promoting independence and the self-esteem of a client

revolves around creating a trustworthy environment and making the client feel special, this way I

can get to be at per with the client and they feel free to share information that is necessary for

their wellbeing. I have always embraced the imperfections of my client, making them see it as

not as much of a big deal as they might think there are. I mostly set them to an attitude of looking

at things as perfectly perfect. I also advise my clients on various ways and strategies of handling

knowledge not to see it as a weakness but as a tool, they need at their disposal. I think I am good

at promoting the esteem and independence of the client.
