Add to FavoritesAbout Karen
I'm seeking a caregiving job preferably in hospice care. I've been a CNA for eight years and have been working in this field for over fifteen years now. I love what I do, especially making such a positive impact on people during their transition to the end of life. I started caregiving at an early age. My older sister was a special child. She couldn't talk nor care for herself. The only way she could communicate with us was by touch or sound, meaning if she wanted something and didn't get it right away she'll hit you but I loved caring for her. That's when I made my mind up to care for people who needed it. I've been working for the same agency for over ten years called Senior Bridge Families/ Humana, but work is very scarce so I've been working for Lexington square for seven months now. I love working there but I think it's not the right fit for me. Hopefully this site will help me find a suitable workplace.
