About Erica

1.) I became a caregiver because I love to help those in need and I love the feeling of knowing that I made a difference in my patients life. 2.) I like knowing that I made a difference in their life and in their families life. I like to leave work knowing that my patients are well taken care of that all my work is done. 3.) a personal achievement that I am proud of is receiving multiple compliments on my car as a CNA. I have had multiple family members and their families tell my employer how much they value me and in return, my employer would recognize me in there buliten. Knowing that I did my job right to the extent of me getting recognition for it, made my year. 4.) I love being a caregiver. I want to finish school and become a RN and work in the ER.
