About Helena

The reason as to why I became a Caregiver is because I like to help others and put their needs before my own. I like being a Caregiver due to it being extremely rewarding because my work can really impact and benefit another persons life. My greatest achievement is receiving my CNA certificate when I constantly doubted myself through the process. A little about myself is that I came to America knowing little English, but still have managed to achieve this goal.
