About Lavette

My personality traits and expertise that helps me be a great caregiver is that being able to understand and be patient with the needs of elderly clients. I am able to empathize and understand what others are feeling. I am able to interact with patient and their loved ones in a polite and professional manner. The thing that attracted me to being a caregiver is seeing my dad being paralyzed and helping him out and taking care of him. I enjoy helping people and making them smile. A personal achievement I am proud of is finishing up my medical billing and coding degree.

I've been a nurse sine 2002 I am & will always be my patient's advocate.Insisting & ensuring they get the highest quality care.I'm very skilled, kind, patient, compassionate, giving & caring. My desire is to touch lives & improve the quality of life for those needing nursing care.I graduated nursing school with a 4.0, finished all but 7 months of RN school & then life happened & financially wasn't able to finish. Now unfortunately many of my classes have expired, but I'm ok with that lvn/rn just long as I'm nursing.
