Summary
After several years working as a CNA in the 1990s, I quit nursing and stayed home to raise 14 children. My youngest is going into kindergarten this fall. I enjoy working with and caring for the elderly, so I would like to get back into caregiving for them and get recertified as a CNA. I plan on working for the next 15 years and looking for a place close to home for long-term employment.
