I became a caregiver myself because a friend of mine needed help taking care of her uncle when he was really sick and thats when it all started. I then went on after that to get my cna but working in a nursing home you dont get to spend as much time with people as as you like unless you pick up all these crazy shifts which i would do time to time if i knew someone was sick or if they really needed help the people i worked with and worked for they were like a second huge family to me. I like care giving because you get to know someone and there family when you work one on one but i made it so i got to know everyone when i was in the nursing home even when we had new admissions i would be one of the first people in the room. My personal achievements im proud of is when i went back to school and got my cna. Theres another im proud of is when i graduated high school that was big for me and my family seeing alot of kids dropped out in my family but i didnt want to be one of those people. Lets see im 26 years old ive been a cna almost four years now and i love it i wouldnt change it for the world. I have a pretty big family the one person that inspired me the most was my grandfather he was so proud of what i did with my life and coming from him that was a big thing. I am cpr certified i keep that up to date took a three hour long class just to keep it. Ive worked with just about everything you name i probably have just ask.
