When I got laid off in 2008, I became employed at a assistant living home and I just fell in love with the residents. I went on to work with a physician who paid for my cna course and license. I had residents that I took care of outside of working for the doctor, I also became close to the patients. I love being a caregiver because I feel its my true calling and that I can show others that someone can still love and tend to them. An achievement that I have accomplished is raising two kids as a single parent whom both will be in college or the military. Im a joyful person who is always smiling, caring, loving, dependable, willing to learn, and I'm a team player. I plan on going to school to become an lpn and get my certification in wound care.
