I decided to be a caregiver because it allows me to help people in their homes. I feel that it is best that people are cared for in their home, that way they get the care they need. In nursing homes there are too many people that need to be cared for, which leads to our loved ones being neglected. I feel it is important to have the one on one for your loved one.

I have been a caretaker when I became a mother 27 years ago. Over the years I have worked with mostly specials needs adults and elderly. I have explored many avenues from day camps, private respite care, home visiting to nutrition education. Our family now supports a life share man who is autistic and non verbal and attends red tomato farm in Newville. I also work at red tomato Mondays and weds. I take my elderly father to gym on Tuesdays and Thursday in the am. Looking for work in the pm. This could be a good fit for me and this person who needs care. Would like to talk to someone about this. Thanks

I have been working with the elderly sinnce i was 14 years old, where I took care of my grandmother for three years before her passing. I understand that sometimes the eldely just need someone to listen to them, to be treated like they are still a valid member of society. I am patient, and understanding to the specific care that my residents need. It was the care that i gave my grandmother as a teenager that brought me on the path of becoming a caregiver. I enjoying listening to the elderly, because they have so much wisdom from the lives they have lived, and putting a smile on their faces when then are feeling down. I proud of the fact that i was able to attain my certification as a nursing assistance and is getting very clso to achieving my associates as a registered nurse.

I've been a CNA for almost 10 years. I started out taking care of my grandfather. He would listen to me, talk to me, etc but barely with anyone else. Taking care of him made me feel good and I knew that's what I wanted to do with life. I knew I wanted to help people, and this is where my journey starts.
