well i'm a certified nursing assistant and mother of 12 i've been in this position for about 10 years and caring for the elderly and disabled is a job i love to do. working in customer service prior to this helped me to understand what my priorities are in working with the elderly and disabled. working is this environment helps me to understand that at some point in everyone's life they will need help and family members are sometimes not able to give that full time help so that's where we come in as caregivers. i learn so much from the individuals that i care for their lives are so interesting and informative which why i do what i do and my compassion and understanding of their needs and wants is very important to me. i've worked in facilities, hospitals and residential homes and nothing was more rewarding to me then working in the persons' homes because of the individualized attention your able to give to the resident. hopefully i'll be able to do this work until i can't work anymore.
