I've worked for the same agency for 6 years..I started with only weekends 2 hours a day. That was tough to go see just that one patient but I was determined to prove to my employers that they can assign me more clients, that I'm not your typical CNA, I really care about what I do and the patient/clients that I serve, by being dependable, reliable, taking on assignments nobody else wants, getting to job site on time, assisting and having working knowledge of skills in assisting clients with there special needs/ ADL's and being a great friend or companion to client; someone they can trust and reliey on. Within a month period of time, my employer relized i was that honorable women and assign me to a full time position with a client. I was with her until her passing. The next assignment, was the same. I believe in great quality care. I believe if i had a loved one that was in need of care, i would want someone, like me, who has the patients, time, skills, compassion and commitment to see about my family member and not have to worry or have doubts about if thy have the right person or not to take care of there loved one. So if i was to take this internally and visualize how family members would or could feel, thats why i know i have the confidence and working knowledge within me to do and be the best person i can be, and care for them the same way I would want someone to care for me.

As I worked for the dept of seniors programs and services in Westchester County I came to love the work i was doing with the seniors and I went above and beyond my job helping them in any way I could making calls to their doctors answering questions. But beside that I also took care of my grandparents up until the pass. And I said that this what I want to do because I love people and I just want to help in anyway I can and if that being a companion then that's me or just to be their to listen, what really make enjoy doing this is the smiles I get to see on the face and for me makes my day So I feel I can and will be the best caregiver I can be for anyone or family l took care both of my grandparents I was their caregiver up to theh pass away I took care of my mother. So I been working as a caregiver. For more the 8 years.
