About Kennitha

I am a compassionate, caring and trustworthy person. I am a consummate professional with a great work ethic. I have elderly parents that receive care so I know the traits that I look for in a caregiver. I have always had the desire to help others. Helping others improve or maintain a good quality of life has always been fulfilling and satisfying. My greatest personal achievements have been graduating from college with honors, advancing in my career and taking care of my aging parents.

My name is Sadera Johnson. I am a pca at waterbury hospital. I have experience with pediatrics, nicu, senior care and psych patients. I also have worked in nursing homes and home care. I believe i am a great caregiver because I love helping people. From a young age I always loved taking care of and helping other people. I believe in order to be a great caregiver you have to be a very empathetic person and that I am. I think what I love about my job is knowing the little difference I can make in a person's life everyday. To see someone else happy and knowing I was apart of that makes me proud.
