About Vanessa

Hi, my name is Vanessa Phillips. I am a mother of two, a daughter (8) and a son (3). I have been a Certified Nursing Assistant for 8 years now. I have worked in pretty much every area of my field such as geriatrics, hospice, home care, assisted living, and so on. I love the Nursing field and will be continuing my career as I got accepted into LLCC's ADN program beginning this Fall. I have worked so hard for this opportunity and hope to become an RN in 2023 after graduation and passing my boards. I am very passionate about Nursing and I believe this shows in my work and everyday life. I have a mothering, patient nature about myself and love to care for others by being helpful, promoting independence, and making great differences in their lives. I am a hardworking, team player, but I also prefer to be on a one on one basis with clients as I tend to provide quality care and attention to them because that is usually what most seek, companionship. I enjoy perfecting my craft and can't wait to become a great Nurse one day.

I am the oldest of three children. I've been caring for others, such as my baby brother, since I was twelve (12) years old. My mother moved in my home in 1995; she was just fifty-four (54) at the time; however, she was forced to retire due to disabling symptoms associated with Multiple Sclerosis. Caring for my mother while raising two kids and attending night classes enhanced my nurturing characteristics, organization and time management skills. I enjoy providing companionship and help to others. I am proud that I am one of five educated/professional women who pray together and for each other, 5-days a week, for the past fifteen (15) years!
