I AM A GREAT CAREGIVER BECAUSE I CARE, I CARE HOW THE PATIENT FEELS AND THE FAMILY. I LIKE TO IMAGINE THAT IF THE PATIENT WAS MY FAMILY MEMBER HOW THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED SO I TREAT THE PATIENT AS IF HE/SHE WAS A PART OF MY FAMILY. I HAVE BEEN A CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTANT FOR ALMOST 18 YEARS. I LIKE WORKING WITH ELDERLY PATIENTS IT GIVES ME A SENSE OF BEING NEAR ONE OF MY GRANDPARENTS. I BECAME A CNA BECAUSE MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER GOT SICK AND HAD ALZHEIMERS AND MY FAMILY DIDN'T WANT TO PUT HER IN A HOME, SO WE KEPT HER AT HOME AND EACH ONE OF US TOOK TURNS TAKING CARE OF HER.
