1. I grew up always wanted to help people, I believe it stemmed from having a brother who was handicapped, I always had the need to help and try to do my best to make people feel better. 2. I enjoy being a caregiver because I can physically help and encourage people keep their independency which makes me the most happiest. 3. To be honest the most greatest personal achievement; other than having two wonderful children that I am proud of would be passing my CNA test. 4. I am 27 years old and have had my CNA certificate since 2007, I currently work for the ARC of Quinebaug Valley as a Direct Support Provider which I absolutely adore but unfortunately they are not able to offer me the hours I need.
