I would say what inspired me to become a caregiver is not only that I am currently enrolled in college for nursing but that I have been caring for my mother for the past 16 years following an automobile accident. I think it is important to develop a good relationship with each client / patient and to provide the utmost care while allowing the patient to feel comfortable when being cared for. I would consider myself a nurturer and a caring person I enjoy the reward of helping others and the Fulfillment of being able to help others. I have my associate's degree and applied science through medical assisting at Wake Technical Community College and have worked for 5 years and medical offices as a certified medical assistant. I'm currently enrolled in pre-nursing at Wake Tech and plan to obtain my RN nursing degree.
