i became a caregiver when i was 12 years old...i helped my neighbor who was confined to a wheelchair due to a stroke. being a caregiver has become second nature to me, just being able to care for others who needs it makes my day. one of my greatest achievements is that i didnt give up when people told me i couldnt do something...i have been a certified nursing assistant since 1996, as a result of caring for my neighbor. it showed me who i really am and that i do have love in my heart for others. the way i care for others is the way i want to be cared for when the time comes.
