About Lavita

I am a Certified Nursing Assistant with 17 years of hands-on training and experience working with several types of geriatric patients. I have a keen desire to help people in need and want to contribute towards society. I'm compassionate about the care I provide to my clients and their well being. I believe that you should treat people the way that you would want to be treated or the way you would want your elder family members to be treated. Were all part of the circle of life and at some point in our life we will need some help. So at this point of my life enjoy helping those in need.
