About Susan

I felt called to work with disabled adults. I began by working in an intermediate care facility where I fell in love with the residents! Since that time, I have worked in private home care with both disabled adults and the elderly. I have a reputation for my excellent care and personal touch with each person. I have also decided to pursue a career in nursing, and have acquired my CNA license in the state of Illinois this past summer. I look forward to continuing in home healthcare as I pursue my nursing degree and hope for a successful partnership with your organization.

    I am a great caregiver because I provide excellent care to elderly/disabled people who can't do for themselves. I became a caregiver because I love helping people, and it feels good to help someone that's not able to help themselves. I feel that helping someone else makes my day better because I know I made a difference in someone's life whether it's helping a patient bath, eat, get dressed or even assist with walking. A personal achievement that I'm proud of is me being able to work with hospice patients. I was scared to work with hospice patients when I first started as a certified nurses aide, but I work with them everyday now and I love it!!! I'm going tell you a little about me I'm a dedicated hard worker, caring, respectful, loyal and honest person. I'm also a great person to get along with and I can work and a lot of different settings such as nursing homes, home care etc.
