Hello, thanks for taking the time to look into my profile. I'm 21 years old and I've been a CNA/caregiver for about 4 years now. I've always been an empathetic and caring individual. I thrive in a work space that allows me to tend to the needs of others. What attracted me to being a caregiver for one, was my nana. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease a little after I was born. My only memories with her were when the disease progressed. She lost her speech abilities and lost her independence completely. Anytime I was with her my caregiving skills kicked in, it just came natural to me. I would watch movies by her side holding her hand even though she couldn't speak to me, I knew she felt me with her. I would watch as my aunt prepared her food and provided care for her. She was an inspiration to me and I knew that I wanted to help people like her. Another thing that attracted me to being a caregiver/CNA was my mom. She has been a CNA for 10 years and I would always go into her work and meet the people she was caring for and instantly knew that I wanted to help people too. A personal achievement that I am proud of is branching out of my comfort zone and attending college in Southern California all on my own. I attended National Holistic Institute and became a Massage Therapist which also brings me fulfillment in the way that caregiving does.
