Theresa Melnyk M.

What makes me a great caregiver I've learned to hear & listen as well have compassion. All my teen age life I wanted to care for elderly & children, I started working with individuals with develop disabilities ages range 18yrs - 70yrs, I thought to myself this is great later I came across working with senior citizens my heart, soul and mind was complete I found my goal this has been a passion and hearts desire. what I love most about being a care giver is being there physically, mentally, spiritually to comfort to have an ear and hand to help make another client day better than the day before. My personal achievement I'm proud of knowing that I made another persons day.

I became a care giver because I always wanted to help people give them the love and care that they need I like about caregiver is that I love doing care treating with respect and dignity treating them like they are mines because I really Care about them and what they go through and listening to them when they need some one to talk to I'm am very proud of my self of the person I am today. I went to job corps and finish school I never gave up on my self because I know I can do it I have faith in my self so I'm very proud that I wising up and became a CNA well I'm 20 year's old went to job corps and receive my high school diploma and my CNA certification I'm always on time work hard dedicated my strength is working hard giving the care to my residents at the same time my weakness is I don't like to see tears cause I will cry but it's ok to cry I will cry with my residents all day long if they need me to cry with them not a problem at all. Now I'm 24 i Beat Cancer 3-1/2 years ago and I'm a Cancer Survivor and I'm still working as.
