I am a very loving person and I love to help people to put smile on their face. I love to be a care giver because it my passion to be a Nurse. I love to help other to live the best of their lives in a meaningful way. Am also a very fun to be with. I have a family member that pass away from a certain sickness, I was their but I couldn't help in any shape or form, since then I decided to join the health care field and join hands in fighting certain diseases . What I love most in been a care giver is that am able to put smile on their face at the time that they can help themselves and I help lift them in Sprit and make then happy. One achievement am so so proud of is been a going to school and been a Nurse.
