Being the youngest growing up in a household of 10 it was tough for me. After school I came home and took care of my grandmother for about 12 years until she passed away. She's the real reason why I became a caregiver. She spent her whole life taking care of other people and now it was my time to take care of her and other elderly individuals. I trained to be a sharp nursing assistant. I am most proud of my education. I received my CNA license when i was a senior in high school. Trying to graduate on time and passing a state exam for nursing wasn't an easy task to juggle. My education and training make me an ideal candidate for a caregiver position. In particular, my study of 20 months inside a Nursing Assisting class, three months of clinical, and passing the CNA state exam while attending Essex County Vocation High School has given me a solid background so that I can perform exceptional support for all residents. I enjoy making other smiles and i feel as though being a caregiver gives me that opportunity. This is my dream job.
