I've been doing this type of work since I was 12yrs. I lived with my grandmother helping my mom take care of her. After she passed I found myself searching for what makes me happy. I decided to go to school for CNA, best decision I've made in a long time. I love what I do, it brings back memories of my grandmother. I would like to go back to school but for now, I'm enjoying this experience. I love to interact, talk to, sing, and dance with my residents. I love to see them smile. With that being said, I'm a good person, trying to give someone the care I would want if I was in that postition.
