About Roger

I can identify with people who are elderly. You see, I lost my mother in 2009 from Alzheimer's and dementia at the age of 71 years old. During that time, my sister and I tried to take care of her. After four months, my sister and I just couldn’t take care of her full-time. She needed more care than we could provide, so we had to arrange for nursing home care. I felt so bad for needing to do so, since I preferred to provide for her care myself. I would visit her often, and I noticed CNAs and nurses helping my mother. I respected those who took care of her. I thought this must be a difficult but rewarding job. This gives me a personal perspective. I have compassion for elderly people who reside at skilled nursing facilities. I earnestly desire to be a CNA as you’ll see on my enclosed resume. I’ve completed a CNA course at SacMed Training and my clinical hours were obtained from Emerald Gardens. I have the educational background and want to further my caregiver experience. In addition, I am motivated and enthusiastic, and I have a good sense of humor. I am confident that meeting with you would be a mutually positive experience, and I can make myself available at your convenience. I would appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the type of care you offer to your residents. Sincerely, Roger Ward

I have been in the field. For more than 25 years, I have been very successful in providing care for individuals according to each clients needs. I pride myself on the fact that I got one particular client who wasn't willing to participate in any exercise and was wheelchair bound to not only participate, but eventually began walking. I am extremely proud to say I absolutely adore working with seniors, I've been doing it for a long time. I love being in the company of them. I absolutely admire the stories and the way they did things.

I have extensive experience working with elderly adults. In the 14 years I've worked as a care provider, the one gift that I receive the most is the constant gratitude of my service. Recognizing that each resident is an individual with unique needs and potentials is key to creating a good rapport. Learning about the resident helps me discover what motivates them. I'm comfortable working with other professionals as needed to assist each resident with their goals. I have a love for photography and art and I love to cook and try new recipes. Yes, a guy that likes to cook. Go figure! I have a reliable vehicle with full insurance and a clean DMV record and I'm available to work a flexible schedule. I look forward to the opportunity to provide excellent care. Thank you.
