I don't consider myself a CNA, I think of myself more as a QLF- quality of life facilitator. I enjoy being able to make people smile and laugh;enjoying life. With homecare,I believe "normal life" should be encouraged as much as possible. Sometimes this may mean something as simple as having the woman of the house help with everday chores they used to do everyday or even just letting them make decisions for themselves when it comes to personal care. One of my favorite moments was when I got a husband and wife to make a pizza for dinner. She didnt think she would ever make dinner again because of her condition and he had never made pizza before. We had a great time making it and they both thoroughly enjoyed it. Their son was even shocked. This is what makes my job so great- bringing joy to people's lifes.
