About PORTIA L

I decided to get my Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) license back in 2006 and from there I fell in love with the medical field. After obtaining my CNA license I worked in several nursing homes and as well as private sitting. I decided to further my education in the medical field and in 2008 I went for Phlebotomy and in 2012 Medical Assistant. After graduating with my medical assistant certificate, I worked in several chiropractic offices. My caring spirit and love to help people is the reason I enjoy what I do. Seeing first-hand how some elderly people get treated in different facilities I wanted to make a change. So, being able to help the elderly stay at home safely and not to worry about going to a nursing home gives me joy.

I am friendly, clean and honest, dependable, and trustworthy. I enjoy being able to help other people and brighten their day. One of the things I enjoy most about being a caregiver is being a listening ear and hearing someone's background and getting to know them.
