I chose this profession because in the health field there are many families who are trusting enough to place their loved ones in assisted care and are not getting the help, compassion, and attention that is needed. I want my clients and their families to know they are placing their loved one in the hands of someone who will care and go above and beyond. Being able to assist people with living their days to the fullest, and with ease is a big part of why I love doing what I do. The joy that comes from putting a smile on someones face, for even the smallest reason is a gift. I am very proud of receiving my certificates through school. I studied and graduated at the top of my class and I take pride in my accomplishments and I strive to move forward and build from there. I grew up with financial problems and instability, it was hard to get anywhere or see myself as much of anything. I always wanted more for myself so I started working and putting money away and I kept in mind everyday I could do better. My wanting to change my life and give myself what i never had is what keeps me going and what keeps me moving forward.
