I have been a caregiver for 15 years and like to care for elderly people so much - it is not about money, it is about doing the right thing. My patient could be my grandmother or my aunt, and they deserve the best care.

I became a nursing assistant because I enjoy caring for people who need my help. I have been taking care of people for the past 2 years and couldn't hope for a better career. I once cared for a hospice patient who later returned to needing normal care. That was a life changing experience and I was excited about the progress I helped him achieve. I would like to have more experiences like that so I can positively influence other lives.
