About Latonia

I consider myself a great caregiver, because I am very caring and compassionate. I became a certified nurse aide after helping take care of my elderly neighbor. It felt good to help care for her and I wanted to continue so I went to school and was certified. When I was caring for my neighbor, I remember she loved to eat ice cream and watch old black and white movies so once a week we'd eat ice cream and watch the movies together. Sixteen years later and I still love working as a caregiver.

    I became a caregiver, because I want to help seniors who could not help themselves. I also became a caregiver to take care of a indigent grandmother who needing help. My proud moment is when I can help a senior. I've worked as a certified nursing assistant for over 10 plus years. I enjoy working with others, and most of all I made a decision to return back to college to pursue a long life dream to become a RN. I am trustworthy, punctual dedicated, and a loyal caregiver who is a non smoker and a dependable worker with reliable transportation.
