I want to become a Caregiver because I enjoy helping people. I like being a Caregiver because it brings me a sense of joy and fulfillment in being able to give of myself in a way that makes a difference in another person's life. A personal achievement that I am proud of is the fact that I am a good mother to my three children, which is the greatest of all callings in life. I have over twenty years of experience in this area of service, performing in roles such as babysitter, a nursing home CNA, home health, and a preschool teacher.

I became a caregiver because I wanted to show people how passionate I am about helping people with daily activities, and things they cant do for themselves. I like being a caregiver, because I like the companionship. I like the friendship you get to build with someone on a personal level, along with helping them with their daily lives. My personal achievement that I am proud of is my seven year old son. I have put my all in being a single mother, even with all the medical conditions I was faced with him being a preemie baby. He truly has touched my life and made me a better, and more responsible person. I am a very hard worker, quick learner, great listener, and I always put 100 percent into everything that I do.
