About Darren

1) Why did you become a caregiver? I became a caregiver because I feel that people who cannot care for their selves and need dedicated and compassionate people to take care of them. 2) What do you like about being a caregiver? I love interacting with different people of different cultures and leaving work at the end of the day knowing that I have accomplished my goals in helping people in need. 3) What is a personal achievement you are proud of? A personal achievement I am proud of is becoming fully independent. I am also proud of returning to school to further my education. 4) Tell us something about yourself. I am a very hard worker who feels passionate about healthcare and am also dedicated to the nursing field. I plan on working as a nursing assistant (caregiver) for a couple of years before attaining my degree as an RN. I feel that a lot of individuals become a nurse or nursing assistant because they feel that there are always jobs available for them. I am not one of these people. I have cared for several family members and fully understand the importance of establishing a connection with patients and feeling passionate about your job as a nurse or nursing assistant.
