About Lakeisha

I worked as a home health aide for nine years at an agency in the Bronx . I currently work in the Neuro-ICU at Westchester Medical Center for 2 years as a CNA. I want to use my experience to become an Register Nurse some day. I admire my mother and grandma who both were nurses, which makes me want to become a nurse. I enjoy the opportunity to impact clients lives and make a difference to them. I appreciate the chance to get to know clients and their families and become an integral part of their lives. I always give 100% and do the best job I can, with no exceptions or excuses. I also try to bring a sense of humor to work. If I can add a smile or laugh to a client's day, that means a lot to me.

I'm a great caregiver because I'm a very passionate person, I love to help people and making them feel comfortable knowing that there's someone that's care for them. The most important part of being a caregiver to me is the patients comfort and always seeing a smile on my patients face and knowing that I put that smile there. I became a caregiver because it's my natural instincts to care for people I just love doing it, I call it my weakness. One of my personal achievement I'm most proud of was getting into nursing school, it's a step closer to me getting to care more and taking care of people.
