I believe I'm a good caregiver because when I come to work I don't see a paycheck, I see people who need me. Who need my help. I became a caregiver to help myself become a better nurse. I wish to start nursing school this fall and the best nurses started at the bottom first. I love being a CNA, you develop a bond with your charges, this job works your mind, body and heart. My greatest achievement was having a patient's family look at me with relief and love when they saw how taken care of their mother was. It touched my heart deeply.
