About Jacqueline

I believe a combination of my 18 years as a caregiver and compassion working with the growing elderly population makes me stand out amongst all the others. My experience growing up on a farm taught me work ethics, customer service, humbleness, and a love for being around and helping people. I fell in love with healthcare and and music, gaining a Bachelor's degree in Music Therapy. My work from there was a mixture of using music as a tool to help others and caregiving as a certified nursing assistant. I am currently certified as a cna and have my cpr certification.

Experience & Education

Patient Care Technician (PCT)

Aug 2015 - Present
Sarasota Memorial Hospital
I assist Patients to/from the bedside commode/bathroom, give complete bedbaths, get blood sugars, take out IVs and foleys at nurses request, and reposition patients in bed. I'm able and certified to perform cpr and the Heimlich maneuver in emergency situations. My unit is the Oncology floor, so we're known for giving a lot of extra TLC to patients because we're with them when they've received the worst news of their life. I like to make my patients laugh by telling stories and jokes, and also sing familiar music to give comfort to them and family. I've been a certified nursing assistant for almost 18 years and have a variety of experience including traumatic brain injury, vent patients, Alzheimer's and dementia, post surgery recovery, oncology, cardiac, diabetic, and stroke.

I became a caregiver to help people of both age and disabilities and to make a better atmosphere for them enjoy. I like being a caregiver because I like the feeling of watching the smiles appear on their face. I enjoy helping people who need assistance. I have yet to achieve all of my goals but it is something I work towards everyday. I am a dedicated person who strives hard everyday to make it a better one.
