About Tanya

I became a Certified Nurse Assistant because I have a natural ability to show compassion and unconditional care for people. I felt this career would suit my character and would endure because it's not just another job it is truly a great career opportunity and journey for me. I like being a caregiver because it makes me happy to know that I can make a difference in someone's life whether big or small. A personal achievement that I am proud of is learning about myself and working in the healthcare industry has had a positive impact on self discovery in my life.
