About Matthew

I recently graduated from St John Fisher College with a Bachelors degree in Nursing. Throughout my four years of nursing school I have learned to assist and help those of all ages needing medical assistance. I have been trained to perform tasks across the medical profession from tasks as small as assisting with walking and moving, to checking blood sugar levels. I have also been previously CPR certified by the American Red Cross. I have had a significant amount of experience working on hospital floors catering to pediatrics and elders. I feel very comfortable working with all ages and I feel my experience allows me to work well with all age ranges. On top of my medical experience I have worked in a restaurant for several years and feel very comfortable with my cooking capabilities. I am a very hard working individual who is willing to go above and beyond if given the opportunity.

I started out caregiving when I took care of my grandmother and that was in 1986, she had pancreatic cancer she was such a trooper. To make my patients feel comfortable is number one whether a smile or running errands, doctors appointments, and always make them feel secure and respected In their life. I love to make them feel comfortable. My personal achievement is to make them happy and comfortable, to be that ear and listen to their stories. I feel that companionship is very important! I am a caring person and I also speak Spanish, Family oriented.
