I became a caregiver because I thought it would be a good stepping stone for becoming a nurse. My very first day I fell in love with the job, I loved every aspect of it. One of the many things I love about being a caregiver is just hearing stories, I'm like that lost grandchild that loves to hear about what you went through in life. I am most proud of the difference that I have made in the lives of people I have taken care of, by making sure it's always a positive one. A little tad bit about me.... I am studying to be an Nurse practioner, with the hopes of one day opening my own senior living community. It's a long road,I know, but what can I say I dream big. So in the meantime I'm enjoying being a cna.
