Hello, my name is Yesenia Silva. I got into this business because of the joy that I get when I see that I can put a smile on someone's face. Not only do I like to help the elderly do their task, but I love to keep them company and for them to know that I can be someone that they can talk to. I decided that I wanted to be in this type of field because I'm currently enrolled at Modesto Junior College to become a Registered Nurse. It brings me lots of joy to be able to help others out and for them to know that I am here for them. If there is one thing that I am proud of myself it would definitely have to be me going to back school. I took a very long leave of absence and then I finally decided that I wanted a real education. And now I am finally where I want to be in my life, taking care of others.
