Larkin High School

What makes me a great caregiver is the fact that I have a big heart. I am willing to help others and care for them. Not only am I doing my job, but I create a bond with my clients, it is more than just a job. Being there to comfort them and hands-on when needed. What attracted me to being a caregiver is growing up I watched my grandfather need the help. I enjoyed being there for him to the point where he felt comfortable enough to be in the state he was in. The most exciting part of being a caregiver is creating that bond with my clients to the point where they want me to come back. It is not always about being there for just the job and them needing help , I like being open to them and more like a friend then an employee. I am proud of helping others. I know that with my ability to be there for others good things will come upon me.

I'm Evelyn, I am 19. I started working as a Cna in high school and have been doing it ever since.. going on 3 years. I'm very kind and reliable and love what I do. I believe it's very important to not only assist with needs but also build a bond with who you're working with.

Hello! My name is Jasmine Lopez. I have been a certified nurses assistance for 3 years. My personality traits would be very bubbly meaning I'm too sweet and love to put smiles on faces. My teammates at a facility I used to work at helped me to be a great caregiver and showed me a lot of helpful tricks I did not know. I did my certified nurses assistance at high school my senior year for a whole year and had the best teacher to demonstrate before starting on a resident. My sister and my mother is who attracted me into being a caregiver. I enjoy talking way to much with my residents to get to know them better what bothers them and how would they like their needs to be done. My most achievements I'm proud of is to keep my residents on their feet and encourage them to their goals and needs.

I became a CNA because I always had a passion for taking care of people and the elderly specific. I wanted to give back in some type of way because so many people have helped me I love that I'm so close to my residents, and just being able to help someone who cannot help them self is what I like the most I am proud that I have achieved my CNA license and CPR card and I am proud that I have become a CNA. I am 21 years old. I have been a CNA for 2 years and I absolutely Love It! I get along with people very well and I love to communicate with others. I am a team player!
