I really enjoy being a caregiver it is such an honor - it's all about putting away your needs to assist others. Knowing that a smile on your face can bring joy and happiness to someone else is priceless. The moments when you can reflect back and see how you have helped someone is what care giving is all about.

I became a caregiver right out of high school in 1998 for a friends grandmother for 2yrs. It was then I realized I loved helping people in 2000 I went back to school for my CNA. I work as a CNA until I started a family of my own. I went back to caregiving in 2005 for a number of home care agencies (maxim, home instead, American companion and caregivers) to name a few in 2014 I went back to school retook and received my CNA working in Riverside CA in 2016 I enrolled in school at Summit Career College in Colton CA but after my 2 term I put that on hold to help out my family in Fresno. I am now living in Chino Hills looking forward to get back into a career that has my heart since I was a kid. I am a firm believer if you treat people with love, compassion, empathy, sympathy, and respect that it stands out in your everyday life. My personal achievement would have to be my children one goes to Azusa Pacific University he wants to be a doctor my daughter is going back to school to become an RN and my 18 yr old just inlisted in the army and wants to also work for our country in the nursing field as well. It's not just a job for myself or my children but it's our lives. I always tell my kids what a patient once told me " if you work doing what you love it will show in the work you do naturally" I hope you this gives you a better look into why I became a Caregiver/ CNA
