About Anthony

I became a caregiver the day I started helping my grandmother take care of my grandfather. He was diagnosed with brain cancer a while back and with my help we took care of him until he passed away. That was the moment my heart and mind was made up about being an caregiver. So I graduated from high school then I set out to look for work and was unsuccessful. Then my younger brothers told me about Job Corps, they explained that I could learn a trade and receive money once I complete the program. Of course at first I didn't buy into it because I wasn't sure it was gonna be what I expected for it to be, but later on I decided to sign up and go to an orientation. That orientation explained everything and I hopped right on it. I saw CNA on the list and even tho I had no knowledge of what it was my eyes would not move from it, so I looked it up to find out exactly what it was. Certified Nursing Assistant is what came up when I researched it, I was hooked. I attended Keystone Job Corps where I took up the CNA trade, I started in March and finished in June. I completed the 10 days of clinicals along with the 4 weeks of work-base learning and passed my Certification test with Red Cross. I love being an CNA, it allows me to not only care for those in need, but it also keeps me humble and down to earth. Being a CNA has made me a better person, I've learned so much just by taking this trade. I just love it and I'm not just saying that I am one of the few who actually mean that.

    Caring for others has being my priority since my tender age and my passionate, my empathy and my zeal for others has been my motivation. One of my major reasons of being a caregiver is that...you should treat others the way you want others to treat you and I realized that care for others seems like sowing and you shall reap it when you grow old...Since the last four years that I had been working as a Caregiver, I realized that those that I am giving a care are not choosing to be in that situation but the sickness, the disease and the circumstances prone them to what they are now. These really make me to be more empathy and fear of God because where there's nobody watching you God is watching you...I am 36 years of age, dark in complexion, I had being working as a caregiver sine 2010,i had worked with different facility like Lankenau Hospital, Kindred Hospital, Care Pavilion Nursing & Rehab and Home Health Aid with Total Health Home Care... I live in 1036 pine street, Darby PA 19023 since 2010 up to date, just married with a God sent wife and life has being a wonderful place to live depends on how you handle it...it is a pleasure for the opportunity you gave me to talk little about myself and it will be a great joy for me if I can be schedule for an interview ...Yours Sincerely Austin Adeyemi
