About April

What I like about being a caregiver is that I can make a positive difference in someone's life. I take pride in my work as a CNA. I like to make connections with people and it shows with patients/residents. I have 10 years experience as a caregiver and have worked with patients in hospitals, in hospice, home care and long-term facilities. I like to talk to patients and make them feel comfortable. I also have training in ambulating patients and assisting with dressing and feeding. I always have good reviews in my work as a CNA.
