I became a caregiver shortly after arriving in the US mainland. I chose this career path because I found that this was one of the fastest ways to obtain a job here in the US. I also realized, as I began my work, that I can greatly help those patients and residents who need assistance the most. I'm quite proud of becoming a certified nursing assistant, seeing it as one of my great achievements. I am an honest and a hardworking person. quite willing to work long hours as needed.
