Calm, cool, and collected. I am a nursing assistant with mainly home healthcare experience. When it comes to caring for others I excel at maintaining and developing an atmosphere safe enough for clients at all times. I treat those in my care like family, while still maintaining professional conduct. I strive to build trusting & lasting connections. Being a nursing assistant has been amazing, but my goal is to complete my education as a physcian's assistant. Caring for others comes so natural for me that furthering my education in the field of health is simply a bonus & a blessing. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Kotty
