About Tamara

As a CNA with over six years experience working in home health I possess a caring and compassionate heart toward all people, but especially when it comes to matters of the elderly. I am outgoing, soft spoken and extremely patient which gives me the ability to connect with the elderly and not only gain their trust but build loving relationships with these folks. In other words, I possess strong interpersonal communication skills which is imperative when working with the elderly and those folks who might have other special medical needs.

$15.00/hour · Turlock, CA
Hello, I'm Laura 32 years old and I have been a nursing assistant for about 10 years. Unfortunately, I have allowed my certification to lapse but will hopefully be able to reinstate it some time in the near future. I have worked in long-term care and hospital settings. I also started working with in home support service clients at 16 with my mother and started working as a nanny at 18 and have worked with clients from 9 days old to 99 years old. I am very comfortable working in different settings and with a variety of personalities. I have impeccable references and usually only work for clients that have been referred to me by former clients however I am trying to expand my horizons and try something new. I have worked with patients in a facility as well as at home who have g-tubes, foley and straight catheters, and colostomy bags. In the near future I hope to complete school, which I have put on hold for now due to financial difficulties, and continue to grow through helping others during a most difficult time in their lives.
