About Laverne

I have been in the medical field as a CNA for 21yrs, and love helping people, seniors, most of all . I think about my mother and father and how much I love them . I know that I personally wouldn't want anyone hurting or disrespecting them, so I put myself in their place. I strongly believe we reap what we sow. That is why I became a caregiver. What I love about being a caregiver is being able to meet new people and help them. A personal achievement I am proud of, is going to school to become a CNA, this time in my life. The first time I became a Electronic Tech made me feel rewarded but not nearly as much as being a caregiver. I am responsible, honest, dependable, punctual and I always stay until the job is finished. I also have experience in private duty, rehab, nursing homes, clinic's and assisted living, hospice, plus home visit's. I am also CPR certified.

My grandparents, as well as my great-grandparents, made a very strong impression on me. I enjoyed spending time with all of them in the summer. Goodness, kindness, and unconditional love from my sweet relatives taught me to be loving, caring, and considerate of my elders. After doing volunteer work at nursing homes, I really felt this was my special 'calling'. Now, I enjoy each and every day, learning from the elderly people that are in my care. Hope to hear from you soon!!

After caring for my father I knew this was my calling, this is what encouraged me to become a CNA. I love being a caregiver because I love to help others when they are unable to do the things they use to do. My personal achievement is getting my CNA that way I have a wider range of skills towards helping others. Tell you about me; Well I have fourteen years experience being a CNA and I also have a degree in Applied Science. I could choose to be sitting behind a desk in a doctors office, but I just love working with elderly and disabled. Its a gift I have been told.
