Brenda T.

I HAVE BEEN A CNA FOR OVER 15 YEARS. I LOVE TO HELP PEOPLE AND TO PUT A SMILE ON THEIR FACE AT THE SAME TIME.I HAVE WORKED WITH ALZHEIMERS RESIDENTS FOR OVER 10 YEARS.THROUGH OUT MY TIME BEING A CAREGIVER I HAVE HAD MANY EMPLOYEES AND FAMILY MEMBERS TELL ME THAT IM A GREAT ,HARD WORKING ,CARING PERSON.I ALWAYS WANTED TO BECOME A NURSE BUT, DECIDED NOT TO. BEING A NURSE YOU DO ALOT OF PAPER WORK.I LOVE THE HANDS ON CARE AND GETTING TO KNOW THE PATIENTS.I FEEL THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE, AND WILL GO ABOVE AND BEYOND TO GET THE JOB DONE.

My grandma is the inspiration in my life. She taught me how to cook, be punctual, caring and above all open minded towards people from all walks of life. Her patience and caring was immeasurable. In her later years as her battle with cancer took a down turn, she truly showed her strength which inspired all of my family. Taking care of my beloved grandmother also inspired me to pursue a career within the medical field and she is the reason why I chose to become a CNA/PCT. I am also CPR and ACLS certified. My passion to be able to help those in need is also driving me through college to finish my Associates in Arts and Science to be able to someday obtain a LPN certification. I am wholeheartedly dedicated to helping others with life's everyday challenges such as cooking, feeding, shopping, transportation, light housekeeping, companionship, dressing, mobility, bathing, entertainment, games and other more specialized care and assistance tasks. I speak English, Romanian and Spanish with functional knowledge of few other languages. This to me is not only about a paycheck but a passion for life and helping others do just that- to live life.
