About Renee

*I am still recovering from AML (Leukemia) as of 10/2018. I was diagnosed last year & have been going through a lot on a reg basis. I have achieved remission & I will update my availability & profile soon; I'm very eager to get back to work! Thanks everyone* Hello, my name is Renee. I have been working as a CNA in a skilled long term facility for a couple years now & have also had the chance to work in home healthcare. Working as a professional in the field I have learned a lot about what it takes to be a successful caregiver. You should have a natural willingness to serve & to be sweet. And don't forget to have fun wherever you can and laugh! You have to be able to work with someone on their good days & bad, and to customize your care. Reliability is paramount. We are trusted to work largely unsupervised, & to be there (not just present) for our patients. Life happens, but this isn't a job where you don't show, are late, or call out regularly- these are real people we work with & they're counting on us! Compassion is a must, & empathy. I put myself in their shoes & treat my patients like I would my own family. I became a caregiver to help take care of the elderly & disabled. My friends and family urged me to get into nursing because of my natural caring personality & my genuine concern for others who cannot help themselves. I love how this profession allows me to have a hugely positive affect on people's lives. When my patients see me & smile, my day is made! My biggest achievements since I started in this field would be building on my patience & enthusiasm to try new things & tackle daunting tasks. These traits have definitely carried me a long way personally & professionally. I have a real passion & heart for adult care giving & I hope that I can bring my quality, and customized care to someone in need.
