About Turquoise

I became a caregiver because I've always had the desire to be the medical field and because I love being a part something that helps people feel better whether its about themselves or what they're going through. I like that the smallest act of kindness could brighten someone's bad day and as a result add a little brightness to mine as well. A personal achievement I am proud of is getting my CNA because I didn't have to but I chose to all while going to school, working full time and taking care of my children, for me this is a step in the right direction towards my big goal. One thing about me is I work hard for everything I want, but I also make time to love and live life to the fullest.
