    I make a great caregiver because this has been a passionate field of mine for 14 years now. I have worked in various institutions, homes, facilities and hospitals. I have worked with dementia units, Alzheimer's, mental disabilities all ranging from teens to the elderly. I'm very free spirited with a vibrant soul. I can adapt to the environments I'm placed in quickly. My focus is always my client and what works best for them. I enjoy having strong communication between the client and the care team... including the family, the nurses, doctors, and any needed specialists. I love to have challenges and creating plans that would be more effective for the individual. Knowing that I learned someone's patterns, routines, and favorite things to do makes me feel great. Especially when it affects them in a positive way. I can understand and speak a little Spanish.

    I'm an excellent care giver because I genuinely care about the clients don't work as a nursing asst. just for a check I take my position very serious. I became a care giver bcuz I lost my mom and dad to cancer and I didn't hv the knowledge to care for them properly and my son grandmother contracted mesothelioma and I was able to learn to care for her which I did until the day she died. I love being a nursing assistant because I enjoy helping and making a difference in people lives. The personal achievement I'm proud of is that I've learned to help comfort and most time make people happy during my line of work. About myself, I'm a very happy person easy to get alone with I have no enemies and I've gain many associates, I haven't met a person that dislike me as of yet I'm very out going and extremely honest......
