First a sociology/political science student, i started nursing curiously and started developing a passion at the point i decided to make it my career. I am a young passionate and energetic woman who likes adventure and challenges. I am the eldest of a 5 children family in which I learned some of the most important skills in nursing; patience , caring and compassion What i enjoy most about being a caregiver is the personal connection i am able to make with my patient, the satisfaction that I am making a difference in the life of the person i am taking care of.

I am a great caregiver because I desire to help others. I am one hundred percent dedicated to my patients and I take my time to get to know what each of my patients needs are which is the reason why I chose to become a caregiver. A personal achievment of mine is raising my boys, and watching them grow to become the best men they could be.
