When I was only four years old, my mother used to take me to work with her. She was a caregiver for developmentally disabled adults. I watched how she interacted, and their excitement when she was around. Needless to say, I fell in love with helping others, I would get upset when I wasn't t aloud to go with her. At the age of 19, I did the exact same work, which got me interested in becoming a nursing assistant. To date, I'm currently a CNA with 14 years experience in skilled nursing, hospice, private care and assisted living. There is no other field of work for me, trust me, I've tried a few others. None can compare to compassion for the quality of life. I absolutely love helping and assisting, and hearing the history of those wiser than myself. If I had to name one weakness, it would definitely be my fear of dogs, I'm sure I've missed out on caring for some absolutely beautiful people because of it. Enough about me, how can I improve the life of your loved one? Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, I look forward to hearing from you soon, take care. Sincerely, Jewel
