I chose caregiving because of how fulfilled it makes me feel. I give care because of my love and passion for people, need to help others and my desire to make a positive difference in the society by impacting other people's lives. Seeing a big smile on other people's faces is refreshing. I'm a warm, kind, caring, giving, compassionate, patient, positive and athletic individual who enjoys being active, caring for others and making a positive difference. I feel very lucky and blessed to be able to use these qualities to help others through their daily life's experiences and with their activities of daily living. I thoroughly enjoy my job of caring for people and touching lives through compassionate care. Helping others to me, is enriching, rewarding, interesting, interactive, involving, versatile, and diverse; as I get to meet, communicate with and help people from all walks of life. There's always something different whether it's helping them to be able to get back on their feet, or helping them through their current life's experience; whatever it is that they are going through. Since I'm athletic and really enjoy being active, caregiving keeps me on my feet daily. Also, I get to meet and care for unique and amazing individuals, meet their families, learn about them and what makes them tick. In the process I get to know their likes, dislikes, values, cultures, traditions and all the fun stuff, gaining more knowledge and experience from them, while being in charge of my own scheduling. How fantastic is that!

Greetings! Currently working on my undergrad studies as a student of Midwifery. I have 6 years of experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant. I enjoy the outdoors and staying active, but when I'm taking care of elderly I know from hands-on experience that this takes time, compassion, and patience which I hold. I enjoy simple conversations and listening to their wonderful stories (which are many!) they love to talk about. I became inspired to be a CNA by taking care of my grandparents when I was younger, to me, nothing is more rewarding than assisting a person in need to improve their quality of life.
