Having started out as a caregiver when I was in high school and continued on until I finish and completed with getting my certificate in Cosmetology, I have always enjoyed working with people that are more challenged and with the elderly. I have continually found myself helping people whether they need extra help in their daily living or a ride to the doctor. Having always doing the work as a cna I finally decide to get my certificate and hopefully getting more education in the medical field. Getting people more involved and aware of people who need help in many ways and recognizing those who do is who I have always been.Being able to help someone is rewarding whether it is helping in daily tasks,having someone to talk or listen to what they feel are important ,is a lot of comfort to those who do not have someone to share with. I feel as though I do a good job caring and listening. People need to feel safe in their own enviornment and have someone to help represent them when he or she cannot do so. I have personally been in this type of position and always remember those that had reached out to help me. It is very rewarding to know at the end of each day I have touch someones life small or big. It is important to give back and knowing I have done something helpful with a persons care,treatment and being respectful of their privacy
