About LAVONNA

I've been a CNA since 1995. I've worked n several different types of facilities and homes taking care of the elderly. Ive worked in skilled nursing and rehab assisted living and I've worked with dementia and alzheimer residents which is my specialty. I've also done home health care privately and once for an agency. I've worked in another state working in 3 different types of settings owned by same company but I was able to work in all since I was skilled and had experience in all 3 types of facilities. I feel I've made great achievements in my work, I've been promoted to staffing and I've received employee of the month several times and also employee of the year. I've learned I have lots of patients and a soft voice and I'm not a rushed person when working with dementia alzheimer and all other residents. I am very loving caring and helpful but I also know how to keep residents doing skills they can still do so they don't lose that ability. The thing I love the most about being a CNA/Caregiver is the appreciation and love you get in return from the residents and even the family members. Even on the toughest days the love you get in return makes the job 100% worth it. One accomplishment I'm very proud of is my daughter who I raised around residents and in facilities became a CNA also and is a very good CNA and I'm very proud of her work skills.

Experience & Education

Certified nursing assistant

Aug 2016 - Present
Kit Carson Nursing & Rehab
I started as a certified nursing assistant in 2016 helping resident with everyday daily tasks and making sure the ready for apt, dinning rooms for meals and also rehab. During the first year I received employee of the month for excellent skills and team work. On my second year I received not only employee of the month but also employee of the year, where soon after I was offered a promotion to staffing/ central supply which I accepted. I realized after time I missed residents and caring so I decided to step down and continue with my cna which is what I am still doing.

I am a friendly, outgoing person who has a big heart for seniors and enjoys helping them to live life to it's fullest. What's most important to me are relationships and living a life of love for God and for one another. I especially enjoy my conversations with seniors-I love their stories. I like to help them get out in nature, enjoy a mind challenging game or cook their favorite meal. I'm available for transportation needs, shopping, meal planning, cooking , walks, light exercise, and medication reminders.
