I have always enjoyed caring for people. It is the biggest reason I became a nurse. I have been working and continue to work in an acute care setting where I have gained alot of experience and expanded my skills with high acuity patients. On my unit we can take any adult patient but the majority of the patients we receive are geriatric. I really enjoy taking care of the elderly population. I am very easy going and understanding . I think I bring a calming presence to most patients especially in times they feel most vulnerable.

I have been a certified caregiver since 1982. I was among the first batch of caregivers trained by the American Red Cross in 1982. I am a very sympathetic and empathic person. I am also very patient. The personal achievement I am proud of is raising my four children and they are all university graduates. I did all these being a caregiver and that is why caregiving is my passion.

I am a very responsible dependable honest person, i will always be on time and efficient. When I was growing up I use to help with my uncle who has a TBI and was wheelchair bound then bed bound, I have always helped with his daily care, my mother also has a TBI, I helped her a lot as well, when I was 18 I applied to a assisted living got hired and it was honestly the best job I ever had.

I have always wanted to commit myself to doing something meaningful in my career and I felt that becoming a CNA wold provide that while I was in school for my bachelors and next for my masters in PA studies. To be spending my days helping sick people to feel well, to help educate people in how best to take care of themselves is something that has always spoken to me. Working as a CNA has been a great opportunity because it has confirmed in my mind what I had been anticipating, which is how much I look forward to working with patients. It has allowed me to be the positive presence that I want to be in people's lives. Leaving work every day knowing I made a difference not only in someone's life but in their well-being is the most rewarding thing that I have ever done. Not only do I enjoy it because of the positive impact it allows me to make in their daily lives but also because of the way they impact me. Caring for them forces me to figure out the best way to help people feel better. Sometimes that means really learning to understand the effects of behavioral or cognitive disorders, and sometimes that means helping people cope with the pain, fear and anxiety that medical challenges can bring. It is challenging but deeply meaningful to care for patients because I get to develop a deeper understanding of how to improve the quality of life to people who rely on me and look to me for relief. My greatest personality traits and expertise that has helped me become a great caregiver is my constant open mindedness to grow and learn to become the best version of myself. My ability to bring a positive warm energy to work has allowed me to create a comfortable and safe environment for my patients. I am also a very driven and dedicated person who will not walk away from a problem until it is solved or keep working until I fulfill my dreams. My greatest personal achievement would be graduating with my bachelors in four years at the age of 22.

My purpose in life is to help others. If I can help someone by removing stress or just simply helping with day to day task then my work is complete. I take great pride in taking care of elderly.

I am very compassionate and love to makemy clients happy and comfortable in their home. My mom passed away from cancer and seeing how great she was treated by her caregivers made me want to do the same for others. I love being able to help clients stay in their homes.
