I take pride in whatever I do, and work to the best of my ability to satisfy whoever I am caring for. Becoming a caregiver, was a promise I had made to my late grand mother when I was about 10 years old. I had told her that I would like to become a nurse when I grow up so, I could take care of her when she gets older. Unfortunately she did not get the chance to see me grow up, she passed away when I was 14 years old. I kept that promise and got my CNA certification 1993. Working with the elderly, gives me that feeling of pride as though I am taking care of my grand mother. I like what I do taking care of those who cannot do much or, nothing at all for themselves. It gives me joy at the end of the work day, knowing that I had done a good job by making someone happy. My personal achievement that I am most proud of is, buying a house for me and my two kids, six years after migrating to the USA from my Island Home Jamaica. That is all from hard work and ambition.
