University of Illinois at Chic ...

Hello there! My name is Blanca Estrada. I'm 21 years old and am currently a student at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). I have been a caregiver for the past year and a half. Before that, I was a babysitter for several different families as well. I love being a caregiver because I feel like every day I'm able to make a difference in someone's life. When I'm able to help someone and bring a smile to their face, I know that I've done something right and have made a difference in that person's life. I wanted to become a caregiver because I've always had the drive to help people. To me, it's always been about helping those who need it and making sure that someone is always there for them. I also enjoy meeting new people and creating relationships with them that go far beyond just the work. I love being a caregiver and hope to continue doing this.

I was in the restaurant business for twenty years before my father became ill. I chose to quit my job and take care of him until he passed away. It was the best, most rewarding experience of my life and I would like to continue taking care of others.

With over 6 years in the health and educational field , I have gotten so much experience that emits through my work. Working with developmentally disabled individuals has taught me to be extremely patient and empathetic. Working at the hospital has made me seen patients at their best and worst. Therefore I believe in improvement. A positive incline in my patients health is what motivates me to choose to further my education. Presently attending The University of Illinois at Chicago, juggling school, personal life, and work has also taught me to be extremely time cautious and very resourceful. I look forward to hearing your story and working with you to gain as much independence as possible.

I became a Certified Nurse Assistant because I have a natural ability to show compassion and unconditional care for people. I felt this career would suit my character and would endure because it's not just another job it is truly a great career opportunity and journey for me. I like being a caregiver because it makes me happy to know that I can make a difference in someone's life whether big or small. A personal achievement that I am proud of is learning about myself and working in the healthcare industry has had a positive impact on self discovery in my life.

I decided to get involved in care giving because I love helping people. Everyone needs someone and I would like to be that person for others to lean on in their time of need. I enjoy that with this position because I am able to be a asset to someones life. I don't see this as being a job but an opportunity to give the care that one may need. I am proud of myself for continuing furthering my education in the healthcare field. I have my certificate of completion for being a CNA and I am enrolled in nursing school. I am a hard dedicated worker in what ever I do.
