$13.50/hour · Calumet City, IL
Hi my name is Jazzmere and I've been a certified nurse assistant for 8 plus years. I got into the field because I like helping people and also I have family members in the nursing field. I do have a personal connection with being a caregiver, I took care of my grandfather who was battling Parkinson's disease. I took care of him in his final days here on earth and made him as comfortable as possible. I miss him very much. Besides being a caregiver, I enjoy spending time with my family and especially my 5 year old son. He is the most important person to me. If I'm not spending time with family I'm in school part time pursuing my nursing degree.

I love working with people and helping them become more independent. Being a caregiver I know I am giving back to society. Being able to change someones life and making them comfortable is a great achievement. I am here to help people feel good about life because they know someone else cares. I am a people person and I strive to help people feel good about themselves.
