About Ernestine

I'm a great caregiver because I enjoy being patient with people that are not ambulatory or have difficulties in later age with their mobility. My mother was a nurse and I believe I was born for this career. I love taking care of clients and being able to help and be a listening ear to them. I treat people the way that I would someday want to be treated. I graduated PHI THETA KAPPA, and I received a Gold Letter Award in 1992 for my knowledge of 10,000 Medical Terms. I remained on the CNA certification list from 1989-2009 with no complaints on file. I attended AUGUSTA UNIVERSITY for my first 2 years and continued toward obtaining my Associate of Arts Degree from EAST GEORGIA STATE COLLEGE. I graduated May 2017 with a major in Psychology. Having this degree also qualifies me to work sufficiently in the Healthcare field.

Being a caregiver is rewarding it gives me satisfaction and a good feeling to be able to assist elders with things they can no longer do for themselves. I treat them as I would treat my own family members. Treat them with respect and let them know I am there to help them, not take away from their dignity. Just let them know they have someone who cares about them.
