I became a caregiver because at 17 both my grandfather's were diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease & I was determined to help. I help them both with the difficult processes of the disease. At 19, when my maternal grandfather passed, it encourages me to get my CNA license. When I am taking care of someone, I treat them as though they are my grandfathers who I have taken care of for so many years. They are my heart & I treat every client as such. At 21, I decided to further my career by going to nursing school so that I could further my education to obtain optimal knowledge to take care go my clients. I am the most proud of starting my journey to becoming a registered nurse. I just turned 23 in March, & I have a two year old son who I am absolutely in love with! Taking care of him & others is my passion in life.
