I became a caregiver/ certified nursing assistant on August 8 2003. I love the healthcare/medical field. I chose this path because I have always had a passion for taking care of people. I come from a family of nurses and caregivers. I have worked in hospitals, home care, rehabilitation and assisted living. I've always had something in me to help others. What I love best about my job is being there for someone who has kind of lost their way of being there for themselves like they used to and I want to help them gain that back or at least be there for them as their backbone and build a relationship. It feels good to go home at the end of my day to know I made a difference in someones life. I am proud of how far I have came into making a difference in my clients lives. 15 years and i'm still doing it and to my best ability. I wouldn't want it any other way. I enjoy knowing my clients are happy and secure. I am from Omaha,Nebraska and I have been in Texas for 6 years now. If someone asked me to describe myself I would say I'm patient, consistent, respectful, dependable, trustworthy, giving, and I'm a outgoing individual.
