I became a caregiver once my grandfather got sick with cancer. I was 14 at the time and I really enjoyed helping him eat,get dressed,and take baths once to got where he could not do it himself. I like being a caregiver because I have always loved helping and motivating people who need it. It is a good feeling when you can work with a person and try your best to encourage them to keep on living and do things while they can. I have always enjoyed working with the elderly. Being able to help them achieve their daily basic needs is one of the best feelings in the world. I am a single mother of a 14 year old son. He motivates me to be the best parent that I can be. Working hard and continuing my education is the best way to do this. I'm currently in school online working on my Bachelors in Criminal Justice and Ethics. I am attending Mid American Christian University. One of my personal achievements was obtaining my Certificate in Nursing and of course being a mother to my son. I am looking for a job where I can use all of my nursing skills that I have obtained throughout the course of these years.
