I became a caregiver after my grandfather suffered from Parkison's Disease. All the things I learned in CNA class were the things I did for him without formal training; bathing, feeding, ambulation, clothing, etc. I like being a caregiver because it makes me happy to help those who can't help themselves and I know that as loved ones you want someone to take care of them well just as I wanted the same for my grandfather. I am 21 years old, a Christian and I always have a smile on my face. I'm the type of person I try to find the positive in every situation whether good or bad.
