About Aretha

I enjoy caring for the sick, disabled and senior communities. I get a sense of reward knowing I provided a patient with respect, privacy, dignity, and excellent patient care. It is my passion to care for those who are unable to care for themselves. One of my personal achievements that I am proud of is I went back to adult school to obtain my High School Diploma. I've never let my CNA license expire in over 22 years and I have had the pleasure of working for one of the best Hospice Agencies in Bakersfield California as a certified Home Health Aide for 8 years. That was a very rewarding job for me.
