About Kendra

Hello, My name is Kendra Jones. I became a Certified Nursing Assistant in 2013 of April. It takes a special type of person to work with those who are in need. I do believe I am that type of person. I have empathy and compassion for the elderly and sick. You have to place yourself I the shoes of others to know what it is that they are going through. I like being a Caregiver because, you grow and learn from meeting the person that you are caring for. I have many personal achievements, but my greatest is when I am told "Thank you for taking care of me" from my residents. I don't expect a Thank you from anyone because I am there to offer a service with care. It makes it so worth it just to see the satisfaction on their faces.

I became a caregiver seven years ago because growing up as a child my grandmother raised me until proceeding her death. She was always very ill and I was unable to care or help her because of my young age. I love being a Certified Nursing Assistant because it gives me the ability to help those who are in need of help. I know doing what I do in life that my grandmother is very proud of me. I am a loving, caring, genuine and honest person who is proud of all the accomplishments I have made throughout my years of being a caregiver. I am also currently certified in three states as a CNA.

I am a great caregiver because I make sure my clients are treated with love and care mainly like they are family. I became a caregiver because I lost someone so important to me at a young age and I felt as though there was so much more I could've done to make her enjoy her last days a little better. So this is my way of giving back what I should've given her. I love being able to meet and interact with new people and their families and learn different back grounds. A personal achievement for me that I feel I've achieved has to be making my aunt proud by helping others in need.
