I became a caregiver because my mother was sick when I was at a really young age. I was taking her with her daily living, blood pressure, test her blood sugar, and gave her insulin shots by the age 11. She inspired me to help others that can't do for themselves. What I like about being a caregiver is when I make someone's day because I'm there taking care of them or doing things they like to do or talk about. I really enjoy what I do and it makes me feel happy to know I helped someone. One of my biggest achievements is when I was a señor in high school, I also was going to college for my certified nurse assistant. I graduated high school and the following day I graduated my Cna. I am 25 years old, married for almost 5 years, and have two beautiful babies. I have been a Certified Nurse Assistant for 6 years. I have been doing this choice of field since I was 18. I am a reliable, trustworthy, and professional.
