My name is Amanda I am 19 years old. I enjoy being a CNA because no matter the person and situation they have a story. I enjoy getting to know my residents one on one in order to create the best experience for us both. I chose to go into home care so I could spend time with the individual person and not be rushing between rooms. I look at my residents as though they are family. I hold my self to the highest standard of care and will go the extra mile in caring for each individual resident.

I became a care giver because since I was little I wanted to be a Nurse, and when I started looking information about nursing I thought it was a ecellent way to start my nursing career, and it was, i been a CNA for 8 years and still working on my RN degree. I think what makes me a great caregiver is that I care about my patients and their well beeing, I treat them how i gould like my family to be treated.

I became a caregiver because I enjoy helping our seniors with everyday life, I enjoy learning about their lives, I like for them to know that they still matter even as they grow older, that someone still has time for conversation. I know that their families have busy lives and while they do care very much for their elders, their everyday lives are complicated with taking care of everyday issues like the bills. I want to be that person they can lean on to let their aging family member know how special they are to them, I do not want to replace them, I just want to be there when they cannot. I believe that I have stated pretty well what I like about being a caregiver. I am proud that I have overcome some devastating things in my life and have moved on to be a better person who has a great deal of patients, caring attitude, loving respect for others, and want to share a smile with our aging community. I enjoy making others smile and bringing laughter to someone Else's life no matter what is going on in my personal life. I do not bring any personal problems to work with me, I do not feel like you should make someone feel unhappy because you may have issues to deal with, personal problems should stay personal and not a problem for the people you are helping.

I always wanted to work in the medical field...but being a caregiver is so awesome , you help and support alot of eldery people you get to become part of their family i love taking care of them and knowing that they also expect for you to be their specially when they have their love ones far away..that their family can depend on you.
