About Sonja

I became a medical assistant because I love to care for people who can't or need help with caring for themselves. I raised three successful children on my own and am extremely proud of all of them-one even serves our very country. I've wanted to be in healthcare since I was a child and my mother would always tell me I always asked the doctors so many questions about what he was doing and why. Now I continue my enjoyment of placing a smile on someone's face, just by doing something that's meaningful to them. I am currently unemployed and if I could take of people one-on-one, well that would be my blessing to them. My mother passed away from lung cancer and she showed me how inner strength and positivity makes all the difference in treating a horrible disease. I want to carry on her legacy. I have worked as a sub-contractor for the VA and have been thoroughly background checked by homeland security-so thankfully there will be no skeletons in my closet. I just feel that my calling is taking caring of people, even if it to the store, a doctor's appt or justing keeping them company.

    I am a good listener. I try to make my clients feel at ease and feel encouraged to obtain as much independence as they still have. Enjoy listening and sharing each others events of our lives. I love caring for the elderly and disabled but most importantly want them to feel good about themselves. Just want them to know they matter still.

    I became a caregiver because I love to help people. I love to see others smile and go beyond my job duty to see that they are happy and satisfied. I'm now a Medical assistant and would like to go back for nursing. I hope one-day to have my own home health care. I'm kinda quite at first, but respectful and on time because I don't like to be late. Honest, caring and dependable.
