About Lathen

1. Empathy is the main reason why I became a caregiver. I try to best understand the meets and needs of both my patience and their families. 2. The thing that I respect most about my job is the Strength that it brings me. Most people believe that strength comes when only physical but the job constantly tested you mental ability to think on your feet. I've gain a lot of skill over time just by stopping and thinking. 3.I am proud of how flexible I have become over the last few years. It has helped me become more patience whether on the job or my daily life. 4.I have two wonderful child, I volunteer at our community park as a basketball skills coach, and I run a 5k every year to help promote domestic violence awareness

    Although I have always had a natural ability to help others, I became interested in caregiving and the healthcare field after taking care of my uncle who had cancer. I understood the importance in providing quality care for those in need. As a certified CNA, being passionate in what I do, responsible, empathetic, and self-less are the qualities I am proud to carry. An accomplishment I am proud of is going back to school to pursue nursing and maintaining a high GPA.

    I enjoy helping people and once my grandmother and parents needed assistance with aging my career shifted from teaching to caregiving. I enjoy getting to know people and learning about them, while caring for them. I am proud of raising my family and completing school. I have traveled all over the United States and the world, and I enjoy reading.
