I am a medical assistant, I have experience in blood draws, injections, medication dispensing. My CPR certification is up to date and have all of my immunizations up to date. I became a caregiver because I enjoy working with the elderly and have worked with dementia, Alzheimer's and stroke patients including my mother. I have taken care of a stage 4 cancer patient till the very end. I've done glucose monitoring, insulin injections and tube feeding. Working with the elderly is something I enjoy greatly as they have a story to tell of their lives and they always have something to teach us. My goal is to enrich the lives of others.
