I have had to take care of parents with illnesses one parent was terminal. And I know first had how it can be some what overwhelming. To have someone there to help and care for you love ones the way that you would is a great weight of your mind. I like the fact that I can help someone have a peace of mind. That I am giving care to someone in need, the client and their love ones. I am proud that I received my degree as Medical Assistant. I am currently studying to take my state exam and I am also a Certified Phlebotomist. Being able to finish my degrees with a family was a challenge but I had a great support systems. I am a mother of 4 ages (25, 21,19, 4) and I am raising my 10 years old niece. When I was 18 I went to school to become a certified nursing assistant. I worked as a CNA for about 5 to 6 years then I moved to retail. My parents thought that would be good for me but, I was young and thought otherwise. Now I feel that I have come full circle in my life, and being a caregiver has always been in me. My mother was nurse and my father a therapist. I have been a caregiver all my life in some form or another. So I guess you can say that caregiving has been my life gift for awhile.
