1. I became a Caregiver after my experience of taking care of my grandmother who had a stroke and suffered from Emphysema. She was obese with very poor blood circulation. I realized through my experience with her that I Care-giving was what I wanted to do as a career. So I enrolled in continuing education classes at a local college to become a CNA. I gained my license and have felt essential in my role. 2. I love the look on my client's face of satisfaction because their needs have been met the smiles we exchange and conversation. 3. I was working in a hospital setting and I put a patient on the bedside commode, when I returned, the patient was leaned over to the side in pain I called the Nurse who called a code and I was involved in the code as my patient was having a heart attack. His life was saved and the Unit Manager commended me for my quick response and following protocol. 4. I work with a disabled child as I have an A.S. Degree in Early Childhood Education.
