About Virginia

What makes me a great caregiver is that I genuinely like to help people who cannot help themselves. As a kids, as a teenager and now as an adult I always found myself in situation where I stood up for those who were to scared or not able to care for and defend themselves. I think another great quality that I have is that I pay attention to every individual in my profession life as well as personal. Its easy for me to learn and acknowledge the likes and dislikes of people which ultimately only helps make it easier to know what someone may want or need. I decided to be a caregiver to gain a more personal experience in the field before going into nursing, which I am currently pursuing. In the meantime I am happy to spend my time helping those who can't help themselves as much as they would like.

Hi! My name is Nancy and I am a nursing student looking to bring my empathy, compassion, honesty and reliability to care for you and your family's needs. From seeing my grandmother go through her health issues, I knew first hand what it's like for our family members to go through their health battles and overcome adversity. That ignited something deep inside me to know that nursing was my life's calling. I am passionate about providing the best care and tend to every single need in effort to improve you or your family member's quality of life, whether it may be your grandmother, grandfather, dad, mom, uncle, aunt, son or daughter. I care for all age groups and health care needs. I have experience working at a skilled nursing facility and hospitals. I learn from best charge nurses, directors of nursing, and all levels of registered nurses. I am confident to bring my skills to care for your family's needs. I am also AED/BLS certified. Do you have pets in your home? Well, I love pets! Please reach out to me and we can chat about what you're looking for and how I can best help :)
