I became a caregiver because since I was a kid I always have wanted to work in the medical field as a nurse. As I worked on my prerequisites for nursing school I decided to obtain my C.N.A. so I could get a sense of a side of nursing and caring for others. I am currently about to begin my 3rd semester of nursing school and have noticed that my C.N.A. has allowed me to have a step ahead of my fellow peers by developing the basic skills needed for nursing. Getting into nursing school has been a life long goal of mine and each semester I move forward is another huge accomplishment for myself that I am proud of. Furthermore, what I like about caregiving is the feeling I get after helping individuals and their families. There is no better feeling I get than the one I get after knowing I have truly helped others whether be by assisting a resident with doing their activities of daily living or by providing compassion, love, and empathy for an individual and their loved ones. I have a great deal of experience in working with alzheimer's and dementia patients and have an expertise in overcoming certain obstacles those suffering with the disease may face. i am very friendly, dependable, professional, and fun! I always have a smile on my face and love making others laugh with my quirky, yet silly sense of humor :)
