About Alicia

Hello! My name is Alicia and I have been a CNA for about 5 years. I wanted to be a CNA after caring for my great grandparents before they passed away. Ive always enjoyed being around the older generation in my family since I was a little girl. I always loved hearing stories that my grandparents would tell me and had an interest at a very young age to helping others, especially my elders. This is why i chose this profession. I am working towards my nursing degree and have two more years of school until I will be an RN. I have really enjoyed the people Ive met over the years while being in this field. Nursing is definitely my passion and I strive to do the best that I can for others.I just recently moved here to Florida and I am really enjoying it so far. My fiance and I love to be at the beach when we can and also taking walks out to see the sunset.

    $15.00/hour · Naples, FL
    I became a caregiver 9 years ago in Tucson, AZ. I loved the field of profession and feel it is my calling. Upon our moving to Naples, FL., I became a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant). What I love about being a caregiver, is that through my compassion, enthusiasm, and care, I am able to give 100% of my abilities to my patient. The most personal achievement I am very proud of is that I had a client whom I worked with 5 days a week, for over a year and half. She had multiple conditions and we were to have a very close bond to where I knew how she felt just by the sound of her voice. I am a female whom loves to work with people. I have a great deal of compassion and understand a person's needs in regard to their health. I have an excellent recommendation record. Sincerely, Susan Watson Since filing this information, we have since moved to Port Charlotte as of three months ago. I look forward to hearing from you in regard to any employment opportunities in the Port Charlotte/Punta Gorda area.
