About Kim

I became a CNA about 4 years ago, I love to provide care for others because its in my passion, I feel as if in life the more good you do the more blessings will come to you. I have aaccomplished a lot of things in life, I am currently in school, when I became a CNA that was a sense of accomplishment, also when I became a medication aide, that was another accomplishment. Most importantly I was a teen mom and me being able to complete school was a major accomplishment. Something about myself, in one word I like to describe me as a very caring person.

    I am a great caregiver because I provide excellent care to elderly/disabled people who can't do for themselves. I became a caregiver because I love helping people, and it feels good to help someone that's not able to help themselves. I feel that helping someone else makes my day better because I know I made a difference in someone's life whether it's helping a patient bath, eat, get dressed or even assist with walking. A personal achievement that I'm proud of is me being able to work with hospice patients. I was scared to work with hospice patients when I first started as a certified nurses aide, but I work with them everyday now and I love it!!! I'm going tell you a little about me I'm a dedicated hard worker, caring, respectful, loyal and honest person. I'm also a great person to get along with and I can work and a lot of different settings such as nursing homes, home care etc.
