My friend was providing care for seniors and at times I would go with her to work and saw how she cared for people. On the days I did not go with her, I would listen to her talk about her day and the interactions she had with her clients. Seeing and hearing her work with the elderly population inspired me to become a caregiver. I was staying with my friend in the 90&#8217;s and then went back to Africa. When I moved to Massachusetts in 2016, I became a CNA and started providing care directly to seniors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>What&#8217;s something about you (a fun fact) that not many people know?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I like to watch Family Feud. I always learn something new when I&#8217;m watching it.  I like to sing in church, I&#8217;m involved with the church choir and sing soprano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>What do you like most about what you do at FirstLight Home Care?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love seeing my clients, having the opportunity to make them happy. It gives me the satisfaction as if I am caring for my own parents (who have since passed away).
