1. I took care of my father while he was terminally ill. Then my friend, Denise, needed someone to care for her father while she was at work during his illness, and I just found that I had a knack for it. I love people. 2. Getting to know the patients; the older ones have so much wisdom and love to give. 3. My two children. The fact that I completed the CNA training although I have difficulty reading. 4. I've been cleaning houses all my life and decided it was time to better myself and earn more money for my family. I have my granddaughter at home with me and I'd like to make her life better.
