My name is Sharmaine Williams, I have been certified in the healthcare field for more than ten years. I choose to be nursing assistant because even as a small girl I always loved assisting/helping others. I began in the field of nursing because of my daughter's health issues that led me to an abundance of training to adequately care for her on a daily basis. I know that families, just like myself looks for compassion, empathy, qualified, and competent care. I believe in the quality and sufficiency of my work and I know that my quality of care is one of my best achievements in my career choice of providing great healthcare to ones who are looking for just a little help/compassion & companionship.
