    I love taking care of people no matter who they are. I've been in the medical field for 16 years. I'm a fun a loving individual. I love to laugh and talk but I also take pride in my work. When my grams and grandpa got sick I was about 6 and I use to help take care of them. I knew then that I wanted to be a caregiver. I enjoy most about being a craegiver is the loving and caring part. I get to know peole and they get to know me. They allow me to take care of them and welcome me as a part of their family because of the trust that I present to them. I'm proud that I'm attending school to get my RN licenses. I've always wanted to become a nurse there isn't or wasn't a doubt in my mind that I wanted to be anything else.
