I became a caregiver to provide the elderly with awesome care. I used to go to the nursing home with my mom when she worked, I would sit there and talk with all them little old ladies. They adored having a new face and somebody too talk to. I like being a caregiver because there is no job more rewarding than having your client love you and be happy that you are there. I became a certifies nursing assistant at the age of sixteen and worked two jobs while in high school. I've never worked so hard in my life to be the best that I can be. I am currently going to school to become an LVN.
