I worked as a CNA for a few months an absolutely loved my job. I got to know each resident on a personal level and I miss it so I chose to give this a shot. Im glad this is flexible because I am finishing up my last semester of college and still need a job. I love caring for others, especially my grandmother which drew me to my career path. My grandmother has dementia and is slowly losing herself. I love to help her and care for her when she needs it. I plan to go to graduate school and become an Occupational therapist, also caring for older adults. I think it is important to help older adults be as active as they can.
