About Gemma

I am a highly motivated Caregiver/Medical Assistant with over twenty years of experience working with children and seniors in both the medical office, school setting, as well as in-home care. As a Caregiver, I assist ,y clients with bathing, maintaining hygiene, toileting, preparing meals, assistance with feeding, regulating medications, light housekeeping, laundry, scheduling appointments, grocery shopping, and transportation to and from appointments. I help my clients with Physical Therapy exercises. I incorporate activities to keep the mind sharp. I have taught basic American Sign Language for three years and help individuals to communicate their needs easier through signing. I make sure that my client's safety and comfort comes first. As a Medical Assistant, I worked directly with the medical staff and patients in a variety of settings which include Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, Orthopedics, Sports Medicine, Family Practice, After Hour Care, Sterile Processing, and Patient Relations. My duties consisted of entering data, filing, typing 45 WPM, ordering labs and x-rays results, calling in prescriptions, organizing medical records, scheduling appointments; direct patient care by taking vitals, preparing for minor procedures, removing sutures, dressing changes, vision and hearing screening, phlebotomy, inserting catheters, giving injections, administering Nebulizer treatments, and providing patient education. I have been responsible for ordering and stocking cabinets in each exam room, and checking on basic maintenance of office equipment, which include the copier, scanner, fax, and printer. I have worked with Microsoft Office Suite. I am a trustworthy, reliable, hard working, prompt and committed individual in doing an exceptional job.

When I was young , being a help to others wa s very important to me. Witnessing suffering when I could make a difference was the reason for my choice to be a Medical Professional and I went to college to be a Registered Respiratory Therapist. I worked in the Heart Clinic at St Luke's Regional Medical Ctr in Boise Idaho, the Heart Transplant unit in Salt Lake City, Utah; and an LTAC Center in the San Francisco area for individuals who were difficult to wean off the ventilator and move on with their lives. A very rewarding history and it was a joy to see each patient go home with a new lease on life and move forward.
