About Melissa

i took the CT CNA course thru my highschool in 2008 so that I could take care of my great grandmother and unfortunately she was moved to n.h to live with my grandfather while I was taking the course but that didn't change my mind about wanting to be a CNA. I absolutely love being a nurse I love taking care of people and building relationships with individuals. I love being someone that my client and their family can rely on. it gives me a sense of accomplishment when I can make someone else happy. I am proud to say that I have been able to learn many things while being a CNA and have built strong relationships with clients and their families. I am commited to my job and will give 100%.

I was hired for seasonal then kept on the schedule and with the company for the long term but I'm only working 8 hrs a week some weeks. Accomplishments I gained and improved on my customer service experience and knowledge. I learned how to be effective with selling items or products without being pushy. I also learned how to start conversations with customers to gain knowledge of what they were looking for and really wanted or liked. I had already found it easy to talk to people and build friendships or relationships but while working here I got even more comfortable with it and gained more people skills. I have maintained being one of the top in sales in my district since the company started tracking sales five months ago.
