My name is Blanche "Regina" Williams-Jenkins. I live in Ridgecrest, CA a small town in Kern County. I graduated from Cerro Coso Community College in December, 2013 and I am seeking work experience as a private duty caregiver. I first became interested in Nursing due to being laid-off as a lab scientist in 2009. I earned a CNA license in 2010 and my nursing career was delayed due to spouses terminal illness. I became the sole caregiver in 2011. After his passing, I studied Nursing. If you should have work available, it would be most appreciated. The key skills I possess which relate directly to your job requirements include: Licensed LVN and CNA certified Reliable Access to reliable transportation Compassionate, caring, and kind Nursing Skills Organized Hard Worker Excellent communication skills Self-starter IV Therapy Course Completed I am convinced that my educational experience in Nursing and previous career field as a lab technician have equipped me with a strong set of valuable competencies that meet your needs. I am eager to combine my previous experience and passion for Nursing Care in order to work hard and make a meaningful contribution to resident care. I would welcome the opportunity for a personal interview to discuss this further. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to set up a time and date for us to meet. Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

    I enjoy working for the elderly and being able to have one on one interactions, to not only get to know them but learn them and help with what I can. I have the patience, and the compassion for them. I am a very trustworthy person. I like caregiving because I love to be reliable, including arriving for work on time and fulfilling all duties in a timely manner. Respecting my clients privacy and dignity. Exhibiting a positive demeanor and kind tone of voice always when dealing with them.

    I first became a Certified Nursing Assistant in 2001 after my first child was born. I then realized the joy I had while caring for individuals and learned to love what I did. The one on one care with individuals is the best, especially when I see their faces light up when I walk into their room. It makes me feel and know without a shadow of a doubt that I am doing my job correctly. I've learned to have patience and my compassion and empathy have increased tremendously. I have continued my knowledge with an associates in Medical Assisting. My next goal is to continue my education and receive my BSN. I currently am not working and stay at home with. I have four kids now and a loving fiance that supports my dreams in becoming a nurse.
