COPD Caregivers in Mulberry - 4 caregivers found

Hello! My name is Kayla I am 20years old and currently taking classes at Pittsburg State University. I have been a CNA since 2016, working in three different facilities. I am skilled in caring for those with memory care needs, and those with behaviors. My favorite part about providing care is seeing the difference I make in the live of those involved. Upon the completion of my bachelors I will be attending medical school where I plan to specialize in Pediatrics. The greatest achievement I have made thus far is spending my summers off traveling to foreign countries and assisting in the care and development of hospitals.

I think I am a great caregiver cause I love to help people special the elderly and just love hear story about when they was young growing up.

I feel like I was born to be a caregiver! I love my work and the people I get to work with become an extension of my family. I have a calm, quiet demeanor about myself that has been helpful in this field. I prefer to be organized and get essential things done right away so that we have free time in case of unforseen events or just so we can have some fun! I believe that every person deserves to have a comfortable, clean, safe, enjoyable existance to the best of my ability!

I am a fun and outgoing person with a bubbly personality. I'm very compassionate and enjoy helping people. I have been a Certified Nursing Assistant for a year and a half. I have worked in both hospitals and nursing homes. I am also CPR and AED certified.
