I'm a very caring and dependable person. I put everyone else needs before mine. I became a caregiver because I enjoy helping others succeed and to do things that they can no longer do for themselves. I became a caregiver because of my grandmother who needed help but we couldn't afford to get a private sitter and couldn't afford to put her in a nursing home. I enjoy seeing their smiles when helping them do something they wanted to do themselves, showing them that it's still hope and to lighten up their day with kindness. A personal achievement of mine is to know I became an aid my junior year of high school and I have been working as an aid none stop I enjoy doing it. I attend college at McCann business and Technology school in Monroe, La my career path is to become a surgical technologist.
