I became a caregiver because I enjoy helping others. I also grew up helping my aunt take care of my special needs cousin and the love and care I felt for him made me want to pursue a career that involves me helping others. What I like about being a caregiver is the reward and satisfaction that I get knowing that a resident has gotten the best care. I am proud of going to school for what I love which is nursing and gaining experience and knowledge along the way. I enjoy working with others, I also enjoy a challenge at times. I am very kind and loving and being a new mom I just feel like I have opened up my heart even more. I am attending school for pre-nursing.
