Taking care of the elderly and children is my passion. I have a big heart and being able to assist people in their time of need is what i look forward to the most. Being able to give back to my community by providing my services is very important to me. Growing up being raised by a single mother, who at the time was a LPN inspired me to become a caregiver. Listening to her stories about helping her clients and seeing how she took pride in her career made me look forward to becoming a care provider as well. One thing i enjoy the most about being a care provider is being able to put a smile on others faces and knowing that i made i difference. I am proud of everything that i have accomplished in life, but one personal achievement that i am extremely proud of is obtaining my certificate as a certified nurse assistant and being able to be a great care provider. A few interesting facts about my self are i am fifty-four years of age, i am a peoples person and always willing to learn new things. Since I have a passion for health care i continue to stay current with my skills. I attended Truman College for Phlebotomy and EKG where i excelled in both courses. With my skills and experience i continue to provide excellent care to those in need.
