About Vanessa

I started my career in the health care industry by helping children with disabilities and then from there grew a passion for helping the elderly and have been doing it for about 10 years now. I have worked as a CNA but helping people in their homes is something I really enjoy! I am also a Medical Assistant and worked at Stanford Hospital with children . During my free time, I enjoy talks, playing music, exercising, spending time in nature, reading, and cooking healthy foods.

I became I caregiver because I enjoy giving my time to people that need it and enjoy there company. The thing I like about being a caregiver is the happy reactions of my clients doing little things on a daily basis could mean a lot to them. I am proud that I went back to school and i became a CNA . A little about myself I am a mother of two girls I just graduated from school three months ago as a CNA thing of going to school as a LVN. I enjoy working in the medical field very rewarding .
