I became a CNA because I love to help people. I am very caring and nurturing, sharing that skill makes me feel whole as a person. Making a person feel secure and loved is the most rewarding thing, knowing that I have become essential to someone's life is what I love most about being a caregiver. I have cared for my severely handicapped brother who has cerebral palsy and was completely bed ridden. I also cared for my father who is terminally ill at the same time as I cared for my brother. I am also a mother of four children. I am equipped with love, care, compassion and nurturing. I also have 11 months of PCT training, 9 months exp. as a pharmacy technician and 13 months working as a dialysis Tech at Fresenius Kidney Care with current BLS , CEU's and CPR certified. I am a independent contractor as a Phlebotomist and CNA , equipped with my own vehicle, supplies, meal plans, medication plans and activities of daily living. My goal is to give the best care, support and love I can give.
