I've been caring for Seniors my whole life. My Grandfather suffered from Alzheimers and his sister before him, my Uncle suffered from Parkinson's, and I have a nephew with cerebral palsy. All of these factors that were placed in my life gave me a drive to not only help those in my family, but those whose families need more help. I started at age 16 with my neighbors mother who I cared for 5 days a week/4 hour days, then onto getting my CNA and becoming a full time care assistance. Now after just graduating LVN School I'm waiting to take my nursing boards. While I'm awaiting taking my test I don't want to sit by idoly. Caring for others is my passion and I want to continue to help in any way I can.
