Ever since I was a little girl I loved visiting my mom at work at the nursing home. I started volunteering in activities when I was 11. I loved keeping the residents entertained and making sure they had something positive to look forward to each day. When I was 16 I was hired to work as a dietary aide in the facilities kitchen and eventually worked my way up to a cooks position. I've always had a passion for cooking and went to a trade school for culinary during high school. I missed being around the residents and wished I could be more involved so I decided to get my LNA. It was the best decision because not only am I around the residents more I can actually help them with whatever problems they are facing that day.
