I enjoy serving our seniors because I had the opportunity to take care of my great grandmother and it was the most rewarding experience. Taking care of her drew me into nursing school because I wanted to learn how to provide better care for the senior citizens. I find great pleasure in making a difference in people's lives.

I love catering. I'm a very nurturing individual who came into the medical field to be a ray of sunshine to those who dont seem to have a silver lining. I was raised by an all military family and as I grew up I was proud but I also seen the affects of war. My own family is affected by PTSD as well as Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases which is what inspired me to be a caregiver. I find it very fulfilling to learn from my customers and also making them feel safe, loved, and ashamed of their situation. I went through Medical school as a single mother with no support but I was so determined to give back that I stuck through it and it was worth it!

I became a CNA to help understand lives , learn , an improve myself for my future career in health care. I feel that it is in my nature to nurture people and take care of them. I am proud to be a college student working on my career. I enjoy being around people, learning their stories.

Hi, I have been a Nursing Assistant for over 10 years, I have mainly cared for Geriatric patients with Alzheimer's. and I love it.

My personality traits that make me a good caregiver are being energetic, caring, and compassionate. I just love being there for people.
