I became a caregiver due to the fact, I am always taking care of someone close to me. My father was the first person I ever had to personally take care of it was a very emotional time and physically exhausting due to the fact he needed 24hr care. The most treasured moments I will ever have we're of taking care of my father. Being a caregiver is not ever about a paycheck to me, it is about making sure the person has their personal,emotional,and physical needs met. Working as a CNA is a one of the greatest jobs I have ever had it is a challenge of never knowing what to expect from the patient or client. I have had lots of smiles ,laughs,cries,stories,meals,recipe sharing. But most of all I know when I leave there home they have gotten a piece of my heart and an everlasting friendship.... I truly love what I do now but I am furthering my career also as a paramedic. Thank You Regards, Kim Ferris
