I have worked in home health, hospice, and private duty care for 25years. I have held positions from respite to running the household. I worked at a home health agency from 1991-93 as a housekeeper and they frequently encouraged me to take CNA classes. I declined for 2years. After the 2nd day of class, I went to the office and said 'I wish I'd done this when you first proposed it.' I enjoy the one-on-one of private duty, The stories and things I learn from my patients, help me to be a better person. I have been so blessed!
