I've been in home care for 14+ years. I worked for Hospice for 6 years, Parkinsons, TBI, stroke, and developmental disabilities patients and etc. I love what I do because I treat all my clients like if they were my family and also the way I would like to be treated. What attract me to Homecare was when I was in high school I used to work in the nursing home. And I am proud of making my patient happy seeing a smile on a face. That makes me know that I am doing my job right.

Coverage letter Dear Hiring team, I am very interested in the medical assistance position I have skills and experience to be a assert to your team. I believe my pass experience can be applied to this position. I was able to assist the physician nurses with medical examination. I prepared patients medical charts , monitor vital signs and took blood pressure. I also acted as a chaperon during minor surgeries to help assist both patient and physicians also assisted during diagnosis procedures. I am an excellent communicator and interpersonal skills are important to me as a medical assistant as well as being compassionate and professional. It's important to build a strong good relationship with both workers and clients. I am excited to bring my skills to your team and I look forward to discussing it further.
