About Brenda

I believe I am a great caregiver because I always try to go the extra mile for my patient. I adapt well to situations work well under pressure. I originally wanted to be a nurse but within my first 2 years I realized that cnas/caregivers actually have more direct patient care than the nurses. We are able to build relationships with patients we are their voices sometimes most of the time so having that trust is important. My greatest achievement is my children and I hope I can continue to help them to achieve their own goals.

Hi my name is Jazzmere and I've been a certified nurse assistant for 8 plus years. I got into the field because I like helping people and also I have family members in the nursing field. I do have a personal connection with being a caregiver, I took care of my grandfather who was battling Parkinson's disease. I took care of him in his final days here on earth and made him as comfortable as possible. I miss him very much. Besides being a caregiver, I enjoy spending time with my family and especially my 5 year old son. He is the most important person to me. If I'm not spending time with family I'm in school part time pursuing my nursing degree.
