About Kiarash

The strengths that I bring to the table are perseverance, experience, time management, and aspiration. As you can see from my resume, I bring with me a vast amount of experiences that show the other three strengths that I have listed. My experience has taught me efficient time management skills along with the perseverance of pushing through life's daily obstacles to reach the peak of my potential. As far as my aspirations, I have climbed from the bottom of to totem pole to gain my Bachelor's degree, then went on to complete a 2 year Master's program (UF's Master of Public Health) in 1 year's time. The combination of these 4 strengths will allow me to be successful and strive for greatness with all of my work to meet my ultimate goal of becoming a practicing Nurse Practitioner.

    $26.00/hour · Casselberry, FL
    Hello, my name is Petra, I have over 10 years of professional experience in caregiving. It is a true passion of mine to help people. I have expertise in life coaching, wellness coaching, and working with people with mental disabilities. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is the opportunity to make a difference in someone's life and the opportunity to build relationships and help someone achieve their goals. It brings me joy to care for someone that is in need and to assure that they know that they are loved and important. One of my personal achievements is the healing I have done for my husband who was hit by a Semi Truck on the highway and went through a series of challenges both mental and physical. He has come such a long way, and it is with the knowledge and the experience I have that I know he will be restored again and that I was able to help him achieve the impossible. I believe that for everyone and when it comes to my clients if there is something they want to accomplish I make it my priority to help them towards their goals and needs. This work is my heart and my calling, and I am always blessed to be apart of caring for another.
