I decided to become a caregiver, when I was taking care of my great grandmother 35 years ago.. I was only 14..It made me feel great to see her smile and take her medicine for me.I knew this was my calling to become a caregiver...I became a CNA in 1991..I love being a caregiver. Being able to help people and make them feel comfortable and not worry about things being done on a daily basis, takes a load off of them and their families. Their smiles or just a thank you, Is well worth it.. You can see that they really appreciate what you do for them. I love the hugs and kisses from the resisents..and they tell you their life stories and give great advice..About me, I was a high school drop out, but I received my High School diploma in June 2013 and now I'm enrolled in college and my major is Registered Nurse.. I'm doing my prequites right now, and I'm looking forward to becoming a nurse. I'm so excited..
