About Lasonya

1. I was first inspired to become a Caregiver when my mom and two older sisters became Certified Nurse Assistants. Since a small child I've always been a compassionate, caring individual. In high school, from the year 2006 until my senior year in 2009, I completed my hours of community service as a CNA trainee over games and extracurricular activities, under the supervision of both my mother and sister, at SunBridge Care & Rehabilitation for Atlanta. In 2012, I graduated from New Life Technical Academy in Hapeville, GA and became a Certified Nurse Assistant. I am so proud and thankful that I am living my calling as a compassionate Caregiver. 2. What I like most about being a Caregiver is understanding my patients, their medical conditions and rights, and doing all that I can to help them be as independent as possible if capable. My greatest qualities are promoting happiness, and providing safety and comfort for seniors. When caring for my patients I continuously think about how I would want someone to care for my own parents, so I treat them accordingly. I care for my patients in the same way that I would care for my mom or dad or expect their Caregivers to care for them. 3. My most prized personal achievement was my recent undergraduate studies completion from Georgia State University this past December 2014, in which I earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English with a Concentration in Advanced Rhetoric and Composition. I will be enrolling in grad school soon.

    I became a caregiver because of my mother, At the age of 10 my mother died and I couldn't do nothing to help her. So I decided to get in the medical field for that reason. I love being a caregiver because it is a passion of mine to see people smile, and live there life to the fullest. Some of my achievements are attending school for certification, and also I am now enrolled in school for Health Information Systems and Business Administration. I chose this field because I want to make sure the patients get the treatment, respect, and etc they deserve. I want to see people that take care of these patients act professionally, and treat the patients like the way they (caregivers) would want to be treated. Everybody tells me I have a wonderful personality, and they can tell I care about the patients needs. I like to have fun, spending time with family. I am here to help. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant and also have CPR and First Aid Card. I am very skilled in the following: • Range of Motion (ROMs) • Cancer Care • Hospice Care • Diabetes Care • Normal Activities for daily living better known as (ADLs) • Stroke Care • ODD • Respite Care • Respiratory Care • Spinal Injury Care • Long Term Care • ADHD • Down Syndrome Care • Assisted Living Care • Infant Care • Babysitting Services • Tube Feeding Care • Overnight Care • Spinal Injury Care • Tube Feeding Care • Nanny Services • Pain Management • Medication Aide • Mobility Care • Dementia (AKA Alzheimer's) • Cerebral Palsy • Autism • Any Many More I also can assist with errands, laundry, doctors’ Appointments, dishes, meal preparation, paper work, very skilled with computers and many more.
