I went to a holiday party at work today and was totally surprised to win the "caregiver of the year" award. I work as a CNA for an elder care agency and have been there 9 months. But I have more than 15 years experience with the elderly.
Anyway, several of my clients wrote in letters to our corporate offices to explain why I should win the award. My agency gave me the heartfelt letters they wrote, a paper award and a monetary award. Anyway, I just wanted to brag! I am so happy, I was really surprised I won. Everyone compliments me on the good job I do but I always feel that I am just doing the job I am supposed to do.
I am blessed because I love my job and love the elderly too. I can make a difference in their lives and my life is richer for it! Peace, Lilly
