I became a caregiver because while in Colorado my grandmother became very ill due to old age and me and a few other family members took turns on her care. But after awhile we had to place her in a nursing home. It was not the care I thought she should she be receiving because she declined really fast I set and blamed myself because when she was in the home and we were caring for her she was fine. so instead of letting myself go I went to school to be a CNA so I can better care for others loved ones like I should have my grandmother if I could. I love being a caregiver because I love to help others. One of my achievements in my CNA career would have to be is while working for a home health agency in Colorado there was this lady I worked for that they said liked none of her CNA and once they came to give her care she would call and say do not send that CNA back to my house. So I took her case and went did her care she called the company and said from now on I want Natondria to come and do my care. From that point on I did her care. I am a grate CNA going back to school here soon for my RN degree.
