As a CNA, I am a very positive person, willing to take on new challenges, will always take my time with any cares i'm doing to make sure that it's being done properly. I wanted to always be in the medical field, and being a CNA is a huge part in the medical field and it's so awesome how you can change a person day and their life even just by taking the time to even have a conversation with them. This job requires a lot out of you physically and mentally, but for me, it's all worth it to see them happy, healthy, and satisfied with how i'm taking care of them.

The reason I became a Caregiver is because my Mother had a Stroke in 2003 and I started taking care of her from then till she Passed Away in 2018. I know what people are going through on a Personal Level. I have taken care of Other Individuals BOTH through DORS & Private Care from 2005 & Still am.

I love helping others who need a little or a lot of assistance. I enjoy the happiness I see in the person's face when someone is willing to do something for them. I have a huge heart and compassionate one. I wanted to help people as much as I could after taking care of my mother after she had 2 strokes. I would do this out of pure love for her and would do the same for anyone else who needed it. I would hope that if I was to someday need any assistance , someone with a loving heart and compassion would do the same for me.

I enjoy taking care people. I believe that this is my calling in life. I believe that no matter what your disability is that there still life to be lived.

The personality traits that help me to be a great caregiver are, I'd like to say I have a huge heart. I love everyone and everything I come across. I feel like that is the main trait someone needs to be able to be a great caregiver. The reason I got attracted to caregiving was due to the amount of love I had to offer, I love being able to make a difference in, if not one, but many peoples lives! Gives me a sense of purpose. I enjoy a lot of things about being a caregiver, the main thing is that everyday you're learning something new or doing something different. You get to grow and learn the people you care for and begin to form a bond like no other with each other ! A personal achievement of mine that I am proud of, is the fact that I graduated high school, moved out of my moms house, and am still living with no children at the age of 20! Not very much related to the job part of this but if that doesn't show you I have determination I don't know what will!
