I became a caregiver after I experience my mother in a nursing home. I watched her wither away without proper care. Her illness could not be reversed, but I wanted her last days to be comfortable. I decided to learn about certified nursing assistant programs so I could give the right care to someone in need. I enjoy being there for someone to help better their life and uplift them through whatever pain and or illness they are going through. I am very proud to see a patient or resident excel daily living by my nurturing spirit and trust. I reflect hope and encouragement into whomever I care for and I have been successful with healing a broken spirit. I am from Ohio and decided to move to Philadelphia three years ago. I am a student at Community College of Philadelphia. My goal is to become a RN in the near future.
