I became a caregiver because I wanted a change of work I working in a grocery store not making enough money and I wanted a change and to start a career, so I went to school to become a nursing assistant and that was the best decision I made in my life and I love it. I love taking care of the elderly because to get to learn all about them and what they did when they were young I've been in this field for about 10 years and I love it.
