1. I became a caregiver because my passion is in serving others. 2.I enjoy being able to help someone other than myself to be safe, secure, and comfortable. 3.My greatest personal achievement is that with time I have learned to persevere through defeat and to always be hopeful in negative circumstances. I have over 10 years experience in the health care field. I have worked as a Home Health Aide with In-Home Supportive Services, assisting elderly and disabled persons with various health ailments such as diabetes, stroke, blindness, dementia,. Also within the ten years for four years I was a sole proprietor Health Aide managing three clients on my own. I administered medication, took vitals, dressed, bathed and prepared meals. I followed physical therapy plans for clients. I attended and graduated form Santa Barbara Business College receiving certification and I passed the exam and registered with the American Medical Technologist as a Registered Medical Assistant. I am presently attending Bakersfield Adult School taking courses to be able to apply in January 2016 for the LVN program.
