I became a caregiver when I watched my grandmother go through something I never thought would happen once my grandmother got over that milestone in her life she needed extra care while at home I would help her out with a lot of different things. I started working with an organization that provides care to individauls with developmental disabilities I love working with the elderly there and that's when I went on to get my CNA licence with NY state since then I have been working in a nursing home and just being able to help someone who can not do for themselves really warms my heart and it is appricated by the individuals. I want to work in this field forever. I will be attending school to become a LPN and later on hopefully an RN
