About Kandice

I became a caregiver because I have a passion for helping people. I am a kindhearted person and I hate to see others in hurting in any type of way. It has always been my dream and goal in life to become a nurse. I love being a caregiver because it makes me happy that I can comfort people and make them happy. I don't consider being a caregiver a job or working because I am doing something I love. In 2011 I started nursing school and I am proud of that. I learned a lot in the year I was in school. Although things happened and I did not finish, I will not let that stop me. I will continue and complete my education no matter how long it takes. Something about me is I am a very strong-willed person. If there is something I want, won't stop until I get it. Sometimes things get in the way, but I have faith in God and myself and I know that I can achieve whatever I put my mind to.

    I became a Nursing Assistant when my grandfather was diagnosed with Cancer it was hard on my grandmother, but once I stepped in with bathing, helping with light housekeeping around the house or just letting my grandmother get out for an hour or two her load was lightened it was a blessing. I felt giving back to my grandfather for all the love and support he has given me all the years was truly from the heart, he later passed away within three months then my grandmother was diagnosed with Cancer and I stepped in for her with just myself and my little children and again it was a blessing but challenging at same time but God gave me strength through my trail and made me strong.If i can give that to everyone I come in contact with am complete because it's from the heart helping someone with a bath, dressing them for the day, of just having a conversation means a lot to so many.. I love what I do and can give another individual
