About Ashley

I always wondered what my calling was in life, and sometimes still do... However when I hear the small, yet courageous, voices of the people I take care of as sick or as exhausted as they are, tell me that I've made their day, or I'm the most caring person, or that they love me, or even when they pray for me, I know over and over again that this is what I'm suppose to do-help people... 29 year old, mother of 5! I'm energetic, very organized, and I pay very close attention to details. I learn routines quickly, I listen to what I am told, and at times I am a bit of a perfectionist. I don't mind cleaning at all, I believe in keeping a clean and healthy environment for myself and my patients. I am very confident that your loved one will grow to love and care for me like one of their own, because that is the same way I care for them! Open to pets, religious beliefs, music, meditation, exercise etc!

I grew up watching my parents taking care of my grand parents , I guess it comes naturally to me doing the same . Taking care of other gives you that inner satisfaction which is hard to find in other work settings. I'm proud to be a Nurse . I'm registered nurse from a foreign country working as certified nursing assistant with extensive experience working with seniors with different healthcare needs and trained to work with a lot of diverse cultures and settings. http://www.thequint.com/2015/aprhttp://www.thequint.com/2015/apr/07/female-gender-mutilation-indias-well-kept-secret/07/female-gender-mutilation-indias-well-kept-secret
