About Amy

I knew I wanted to become a caregiver during my CNA clinical, the rewarding feeling of helping someone in need, and seeing that the little things you can do for a person can make their whole day. This is what I strive for. Personalized client care, that allowed me to understand each client and see what I can do for them to make them feel better. I am an amicable, and determined individual who likes to get tasks done on a timely matter. It is important for me to understand the clients needs, and attend to them with the best of my ability.
