About Keyonna

I became a caregiver for multiple of reasons, the biggest reason is making a positive influence in residents life. I like making a big difference in peoples life who are no longer able to help themselves. Helping residents with Daily Life Activities is what I do and have experience of working in a Nursing home doing clinical. I am proud to state that I have a very good personality and love to talk. I am able to perform multiple of tasks that are needed in a work field of a nursing home or an hospital. I actually care about the residents and I don't just look at giving care as a job, I enjoy what I do.
