I have always loved working with the elderly. Even when I was a child I enjoyed sitting on the porch with my grandmother and her friends listening to them tell stories from their younger days! This played a big part in me wanting to become a caregiver. The best part about being an caregiver is the sense that you have contributed something into someone else's life. When I first finish high school like so many young adults I really didn't know what I wanted out of life. I started collage at A&T State University in Greensboro NC. After a year I decided to come back home because I didn't feel that Greensboro was the place for me. I Obtained my CNA 1 Certification at the local community collage and then about 10 years later I obtained my CNA 2 Certification. I feel like my greatest achievement is going back to school to obtain my RN's. The best quality I have is that I am a people person.
