About Jessica

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.

    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.

    I became a caregiver because I like caring for people that can no longer care for themselves the way that they would like to, be it for health reasons or etc. I like knowing that I am making their lives easier and making them feel better about themselves, avoiding any insecurities about their limitations. A personal achievement that I am proud of is knowing that in such little time I made a difference to many of my patients...I worked for almost 2 years at a nursing home facility and they all asked me to stay because no one had taken care of them like I had and I see this as an achievement. About myself, I am 44 years old. I acquired my CNA license in 2014 and I love the field I am in. I am experienced in in-home care and Hospital ICU care. I am a very caring and dependable individual. I am bilingual in Spanish. I also have my CPR certificate that was recently acquired in 2015 and my Phlebotomist Certificate which I acquired in 2019.
