    I became a caregiver because I grew up in a children's home and there was a particular elder lady who took an interest in me. I grew to love her and felt a need to protect her, as we developed a close bond. When I became 18, I was visiting her at the nursing home until she passed unfortunately. In addition, I love working with the elderly & interacting with them.

    A good caregiver is a person with a big heart, need to have a lot of patience and kindness. I become a caregiver since 2004 and I fit perfectly into this two qualities. First I become a Personal Care Aid, then a Home Health Aid and after that a Certified nurse assistance. My goal is to become a RN that's why I'm working on that.
