    I hold a strong desire in assisting others with their life experiences, self- growth and personal well- being. This trait is visible throughout my resume as I have worked in education, childcare, and caring for adults. Working with the elderly population allows me the opportunity to absorb the knowledge that has been gained over the years while also enjoying some of their life stories and assisting them in their daily living. I hold CNA licenses in MD, VA, and TN. along with recently applying for a DC license and I am CPR-First Aid Certified. I am a compassionate respectable, friendly person that will provide privacy, companionship and safety to all persons under my care. I currently work in an Assisted Living Facility in Fairfax, VA. and I have worked in private homes as well.
