My passion for healthcare began about the age of five. For many years my dream career was to become a doctor. As I aged and researched into a career as a doctor, I realized that medical school was far too expensive for my financial situation. Regardless, of this financial set back, I knew that healthcare was the career field I wanted to pursue. I have always had a caring, loving, nurturing, helpful, compassionate, caregiver disposition and character. The greatest personal reward for me is the joy I feel at the end of each day knowing I have done something to make someones day happier, healthier, and more productive. I find joy in seeing others happy, healthy, and successful. I think everyone, regardless of life daily hurdles or set-backs, should always have someone in their life that helps them to see their full potential and encourages them to become as successful at whatever it is they want to accomplish in their life. Nothing is impossible, and everyone has their own personal level of successes.

Hello, my name is Stella I am 17 years old and am entering my senior year in highschool ! From a young age i've always loved to take care of others and have always been very empathetic. I started my first job at a local nursing home as a culinary server, I wanted to eventually pursue my CNA license as soon as I turned 16 which I did. I fell in love with the environment and felt the need to make an impact in others lives. I have made so many wonderful memories already that I will cherish for the rest of my life working in assisted living/ LTC. The most fulfilling thing about my job is giving residents the feeling of being at home and taken care of. I think the biggest achievement i've had so far was when I had connected with this resident that is really picky and tedious with who does their cares. I couldn't say i've ever had a bad interaction with any one i've taken care of, for which they have entitlement to their own feelings and it's really a trait of mine to bring others up if they're having a bad day or whichever the cause may be. I've found patience is the most vital thing in this job, even when you don't have the time. Taking time to understand somebody's needs and showing them you care goes such a long way.

I am a seasoned caregiver with 20+ years experience. I have worked as an LPN in all areas of care- Hospital med/surg. OB/NSY, ICU, E.R. Also many years as charge nurse in nursing homes. In 2008 I decided to leave the rat race of facilities and get back to what nursing is supposed to be. I love doing 1:1 care of my clients and families. It is great to care for my clients complete needs- physical, emotional and spiritual.

since a young girl, it was my passion to care for people, whether that be adults, children, pets, ect. I started a PCA job after High School for mentally and physically handicapped adults. It was the only job I truly had passion for, and at the end of the day I believe I got more from them then they ever did me. The most enjoyable part is being surrounded by individuals who just shine with warmth, empathy, compassion, understanding, ect. My proudest personal acheivment was YEARS after I had moved onto another job, I was out with my co workers explaining how I never have loved a job as much as I had that one. I very vaguly described a special bond a client and I had and all the fun things we would do. All off a sudden, a supervisor from another department who had been sitting some feet away from us...stood up and asked if i was talking about "Said Name" , I was taken back but told her yes. After she told me he had passed away, she came up to me with eyes overflowing with tears about how touched she felt by hearing me speak of her uncle with such love and serenity. Two days later she brought me something from her car, a big, white, shadow box of all his favorite posessions (his beloved rosary, favorite teddy bear, empty bottle of Mt Dew (his fav soda) some things he colored, and a few photographers of him) I immidiatly recognized everything in that box, and at that point we both burst into tears and hugged. She told me.... "It's people like you who ,we are truly grateful for, that get to care for our most loved ones. She could tell the people who were just there for a job, and people like me that treated each and every individual as if they were my own brother, son, parent, or grandparent. To this day this story still holds my heart, and it still makes me cry. Sometimes when I didn't think I was good enough for the job, I remind myself what these beautiful souls bring to me. No doubt about it, it is God's work.....
