I have three years of caregiving experience. When I was younger I had always dreamed of being an accountant, but when my mother got sick 4years ago I seen how the nurses treated her. That put me on a path that I never would have been on. I was determined to try to make a difference. I took care of my mother for three years and then she went into the hospital February of last year went on life support we finally caved in and let her go home to be with the Lord in August. I had to take time off from working to be with my nieces and nephew that my mother had custody of. I still am currently raising them. I'm a caring person with a good heart. I want to make a difference in someone's life. I want to be that nurse that my mother never got other than me. I do have a diploma from where I graduated top of the class for medical assisting. I haven't got certified yet.
