I have always wanted to take after my mother being in the nursing career. After my grandmother got sick and after her surgery, I took her into my care and took care of her for a year and a half until she passed away. After doing that I realized that I would love taking care of others. I knew that if I could do it with my grandmother I could do it with anyone. During the time I was taking care of my grandmother I learned how to gain patience, being compassionate with her and others, keeping up with house work, meal preparation, showering, transferring, medication reminders, and toileting. After she passed away I started at Quality Life Services in Apollo PA, doing the same thing. And I couldn't be happier with the career choice I have chosen. I love the work I do and I love the residents that I take care of, I look at them like they are my own family.
