I am a very caring person. Once i'm comfortable and people get to know me, I have a very funny and bubbly personality. I'm always looking for ways to enlighten the mood, or to look at the better side of things and picking the positive out of any situation. I really started in the caregiving field in hopes of becoming a CNA one day and as I progressed more into this particular field, I loved it. I love knowing I am helping someone's mom/dad, grandmother/grandfather, or brother/sister making their life just a little bit easier. I also loved that I learned a lot from clients. Not only with medical things, but their wisdom. A lot of clients in the past have given me tips or advice that was actually very useful and helpful. I love getting to know the people I am caring for because it makes my job easier and gives them some joy as well knowing that i'm not just there for a job but also a companion!
