I first became a caregiver when my cousin was In an accident. She was in a comma for two weeks and when she came cautions she had to learn to do everything again. I started giving her bath and bathing, dressing and feeding her. I learned then that being a nursing assistant was what I wanted to do. I like taking care of others that are unable to do for themselves. I received associate degree in general education. I am 39 years old who is separated and I have three kids. All of my kids are grown except my daughter who is 15. I am currently enrolled back in school to work on my bachelors in Healthcare Management.
