I started working with my first client in Jan. 2015. She had fallen and injured her back as well as her head. Her son did not want to leave her alone while he was working. I had helped her around the house, helped prepare meals, did laundry, took care of their pets and helped her to the restroom. I have enjoyed working with her. Even though she is able to do everything herself again, I still take her shopping, to doctors and outings with her friends due to her son not wanting her to drive. I decided to get my CNA and HHA certificates, which I have achieved. I am presently working at a Golden Living Facility in Clovis.
