About Nakeisha

Hello! My name is Nakeisha Woods. I've been a Caregiver/CNA for 6 years. My first job in life was working as a private duty caregiver in an assisted living facility. I enjoyed working with seniors so much, I made my mind up to make it my career. What I enjoy the most about being a caregiver is having the chance to experience that meaningful relationship with your clients. Since my grandparents passed before I was born, it's a plus to get to feel what it's like to have a grandparent, and take a trip down memory with them day by day. One personal achievement I'm proud of is my decision to go back to school. I currently attend Moraine Valley, pursing their Nursing program. If all goes well, I plan to become a private duty RN, maybe have my own company one day!

I am very passionate when it comes to taking care of others. Ever since I was a teenager, I knew in my heart that helping those in need was my calling. I started nursing school in college and then went straight to work at hospitals, nursing homes, and at the comfort of people's homes. I am an advocate for the Alzheimer's Association, and volunteer as a caregiver support group facilitator. I have two children who are growing too fast, and a mother who is a cancer survivor who I took care of. Also, I am a lover of animals and have no problems taking care of them as well.
