Hi, my name is Ayana. I am 20 years old. A litlle about me: My family and friends would describe me as loving and sweet. I enjoy caring for people and consider it to be my calling, which is why I work as a CNA. Besides the knowledge or skills that I've obtained to be a CNA, I am a great listener and communicator. Being able to adjust to various environments and situations, is another quality that makes me a good caregiver. That is also an achievement of mine that I am proud of. I also consider myself a fast learner. With that being said, I look forward to working with you!
