What I enjoy outside of work is spending time with my son. If that means cleaning and organizing the house or going for a walk and spending the day at the park is a perfect day for me. I want to get back in the habit of cooking and baking on Sundays. That was always fun, and then I felt the week was ready to go.
I have been caregiving for the last 19 years. I enjoy making patents day. If that's doing their hair or nails, or bringing them for a walk, or bathing them. I enjoy making them smile.

Well, when I was younger, I enjoyed babysitting. I had a friend talking to me about what a CNA does and how you can help other people besides taking care of children. I started to work at a nursing home in the long-term care unit, and I loved the fast pace and having a voice for the patients who were nonverbal. I felt that they should not have been treated differently just because they are not verbal. I work in a TCU know and I love it, I observe a lot. I get to know my patients, and I like to keep an eye on them for any infections that might be happening. These patients have come from surgery and are healing. Anything can happen to them after surgery.
