I became a caregiver because it is something I have always enjoyed. I have had an opportunity to work with all various ages and background and happy to say that I have learned a lot and still learning everyday. I like the relationship you build with the resident as well as just talking and getting to know their history, their story. I am proud to have receiving my certification. I am an ambitious goal driven strong minded lady who loves to work and get her feet wet in different specialty areas. Im currently in school to be getting my Medical Assistant certification/degree for next year April 2015. Then after I have goals to get my LPN which is a 10 month program. I eventually would like to be in a small doctors office or in a hospital setting to work with individuals.
