I became a caregiver because its what I love to do. I'am a mother, I love my kids and I love my grandparents, seeing them as old as they are I love helping them and guiding them, they make me want to help others in need also. When deciding on what to go to college for when I came upon CNA it just felt right! I wanted to eventually be a RN but being a CNA you get more close with your patients, because you helping them more and you have more close relations with them with the duties that are required of you. I take alot of dedication into my work, I think of my patients as if they were my own family. My personal achievements of being a caregiver is making sure all my patients make a full recovery, and their getting the help they need, and for my hospice patients, assuring them that their last days they were well taken cared of. Me, myself, I believe that you do good unto others and you will get the same! I'm a hard working person, I have patients request me and it makes me feel good, then I know I'm doing my job right. I sometimes go above & beyond for my patients and my staff while staying within procedure guidelines and office procedures. Being a caregiver makes me wake up happy and ready to go to my job because I love what I do!
