About Latoya

I became a caregiver/CNA to help people in need of extra care. I worked for Hospice for 10.5 years and it was very rewarding helping individuals and their families and the end stages of their lives or their loved ones lives. I am currently enrolled in college to become a nurse so that I can learn more about my patients and their conditions. Helping others is not just a job to me its very rewarding and it gives you a sense of peace. Hopefully when I get to this stage in my life I will meet someone who has a good heart and loves what they do just as much as I love what I do. Being compassionate, understanding, and having a BIG HEART is the key to this job.

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
