I am a Certified Nursing Assistant, I've been certified for 4 years now. I have received my license in the state of RI and I've worked for RI for 4 years.

A lot of the days we would work on her business, she was a graphic designer and we would work on invitations, book making, anything made out of paper we would make them. I worked 15 hours on the first year, than I moved up to 36 hours a week for an additional 2 years. I've had an elderly client for 1 year who needed no physical care, I assisted her with the basic chores and errands. I've worked for a total of 15 clients in the past 4 years, from the ages of 3 - 93 and with all types of disabilities. My family all work in the medical field and just hearing their amazing experiences made me want to become a CNA and eventually become a nurse and help those in need of help. I
