I have had to take care of parents with illnesses one parent was terminal. And I know first had how it can be some what overwhelming. To have someone there to help and care for you love ones the way that you would is a great weight of your mind. I like the fact that I can help someone have a peace of mind. That I am giving care to someone in need, the client and their love ones. I am proud that I received my degree as Medical Assistant. I am currently studying to take my state exam and I am also a Certified Phlebotomist. Being able to finish my degrees with a family was a challenge but I had a great support systems. I am a mother of 4 ages (25, 21,19, 4) and I am raising my 10 years old niece. When I was 18 I went to school to become a certified nursing assistant. I worked as a CNA for about 5 to 6 years then I moved to retail. My parents thought that would be good for me but, I was young and thought otherwise. Now I feel that I have come full circle in my life, and being a caregiver has always been in me. My mother was nurse and my father a therapist. I have been a caregiver all my life in some form or another. So I guess you can say that caregiving has been my life gift for awhile.

I love to love and care for others. I enjoy being a helping hand to those who need me or my help. I like to think of myself as a hero. Heroes come along with strength to carry on burdens that are to big for someone else to carry on. That's who I am and my gift is to nurture.

I am proud of being a CNA. I plan to go back to school to get my LPN license in the near future. I have always wanted to be a nurse. I love taking care of children and the elderly. My dream is to own my own business taking care if children and the elderly.

I cared for 2 elderly patients with Alzheimer's, heart conditions, and strokes for 15 years. I also cared for a terminally patient for 10 years. I learned through this that patients and family members don't always understand their insurance, their diagnosis, alternative help and medical records which are all very important for the care of the patient. This lead me to the medical record, billing, and coding aspect. With my education I am able to help the patient and their family members on the more technical side of their insurance, medical records, and alternative types of help. I practice yoga, reflexology, Reiki, herbology, and aromatherpy. I was on my way to becoming licensed in all of these when I was asked to care give for several people. I am also in the process of becoming a death and mourning doula (midwife).

I have been a medical assistant since 2014 and have worked in a couple of different fields and learned a lot in each field .
