About Lesli

I have taken care of people all my life. I have grandfather who is 90 years old, blind, and has Alzheimer's that I have taken care of for 3 years. I also have a mother who I took care of while she underwent chemotherapy 3 times. I am currently a nursing student at Chamberlain College of Nursing and am 1 year away from getting my BSN. I also have my CNA certification and CPR certification. Caregiving is important to me because I know first hand how much having a compassionate person to help take care them can make the difference in someone quality of life. I am a quick learner, I am excellent at multitasking and always ready to learn.

    I'am a patient, kind, caring knowledgeable Caregiver with 11 year's worth of experience.I'am a certified Medical Assistant (MA). The reason I've wanted to be a caregiver is because I believe that every person's life is valuable and deserves special care. What I enjoy the most about being a caregiver is that I can help others live a quality life. My most personal achievement that I'am proud of is finishing school to become a Medical Assistant.

    Hello there! Where can I begin? I became a CNA at 17, thanks to my school and my passion for the medical field. Caring for others is in my blood. There is nothing that is more important to me than taking care of others and making sure my patients family is comfortable and happy. I make sure to go the extra mile for anyone in my care. One of my best qualities is my passion for what I do. My residents at my previous jobs always appreciated how I went out of my way to make them feel safe, wanted, and happy. I guarantee the same amount of energy will be placed in caring for your loved one.
