As a child, I was always in the company of older folks in my community - so much so, that when I was 17 years old I took care of a 76 years old family friend on the weekends for 3 months while still in high school.

I was a volunteer at my church's Assisted Living Facility for 5 years, helping the residents with grooming, dressing, feeding, exercises and just general companionship - chatting and making them happy and joyful.
I just have this natural passion and respect for them and humanity in general. I enjoy the satisfaction that engulfs me when I perform a task that they might feel a little embarrassed about but, because of the manner in which it was done, (privacy, respect) they just looked at me and say thank you so much, Joan or just smile confirming satisfaction. I also feel ecstatic and encouraged when family members and friends use words like - "Joan, you are the best" "you are a God-send", "you are special", "Joan, I could never do what you do". and you do your work with such professionalism.

I am dependable and I love working with elderly especially Alzheimer's and dementia patients .I have been doing CNA work for almost 17 yrs. The reason I became a CNA was because 17 yrs ago I went in early labor with my son and almost died.

So that's when I decided that I wanted to be a CNA to give back, to help someone else they did a wonderful job . I love doing CNA work, that is my passion. One day I wanna own my own assisted living facility working on it now fin to go back to school for healthcare management. And if you give me a chance I will show how trustworthy,honest,reliable and dependable I could be looking forward to meeting you soon.
