About Steve

As a certified caregiver and certified nursing assistant, I always strive to continuously improve my performance, to work conscientiously and competently and to be attentive to the individual needs of each patient I serve. The range of my experience includes working with elders in various Tucson facilities, in private homes and with developmentally disabled adults in group homes and day programs. I enjoy the opportunity to provide care for society's most vulnerable and to engage with people of all walks of life and abilities. I am proud of my track record of managing to successfully help clients and their families in high stress situations, as well as enabling them to have a more comfortable and dignified experience in their times of difficulty. My certifications also include Mental Health First Aid, Article 9 and Prevention and Support, and I have a current Fingerprint Clearance Card from the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
