I truly enjoy working with others and helping anyone that needed my help or assistance, and that's what drove me to become a caregiver. my personal achievement would have to be the fact that I finish my CNA in high school, continue school and graduated by receiving my Phlebotomy II certificate and now on my way to Nursing school. In 2000 I worked for ST. Vincent Hospital as a CNA in a surgical floor assisting patients that just post up from the recovery room. My duties was to care and assist 18 to 22 patients and loved it ever since. I worked for them till 2003 and decided to try a nursing home for a few years then moved on to home health which I love because is more of a one on one and I can take my time and assist them in what ever there needs are. I enjoy my job and work hard to keep my patients happy at all times. I've done this for a long time now and I'm very easy and out going but also take my job serious and by the book.
