About Melinda

I've been a cna for 14 yrs now. I've worked 7 yrs in 2 different nursing homes. I'm all about teamwork, I try my best to make sure my residents are well cared for and safety is also important. My supervisors all love me and know that when I'm on duty, they have nothing to worry about. I do what's expected of me and family members appreciate that. At this point im looking for something a little more laid back like homecare, where i can give my undivided attention to one resident at a time. Id like to add that i do take pride in my work. When I know my residents, family members and my team are happy...I'm happy :)

    My compassion for the infirmed/disabled individuals both young & old has compelled me to seek my CNA in 1987 in RI. Loosing my mother at a young age made me feel 'helpless' to prevent/assist her in her time of need. I give the kind of care that I would want if in their position/situation. This is fulfilling in various ways as I form relationships w/clients. A unique 'accomplishment' was helping w/hospice in CA in transitioning clients towards readiness for dying without feeling alone/lonely. My feelings are genuine & sincere, I am confident, reliable, and respect the rights of others.
