I bacame a CNA afters years of caring for my own mother whom at the age of 55 had a life altering stroke and became unable to do anything for herself. although she was my mother I loved caring for her and encouraging her to fight her way back she is now walking with trouble communicating but its a blessing. I love being a caregiver for many reasons Ive learned that being positive and encouraging and understanding to the needs of whom ever I work with there is, a positive I can with a little encouragement and maybe some assistants do this again .sometimes thats all they may need is a little patients. I am proud of many things in my life first who I am my two fantastic boys and the the disision to go for my certification as a nursing asst.and loving what i do whole heartedly there is no better feeling knowing you have made a huge difference in a persons day just by saying yes we can lets give it a try if your stuck we can do it together . Im a strong believer in never say never and never give up..... and I thank my mom who walks after the dr's said never and my 9 yr old son with autism whom never spoke a word until the age of 5 because we never gave up. positive, calm ,consistent, encouragement,patient ,laugh and live no matter what.
