About La'Kynia

hello my name is Lakynia Wingard, i am and have been certified for the past 15 years, I started out working in nursing facilities, but have been doing home care for the past 10 years, I must admit I love home care better then working in a facility because its more personal care and it allows you to get to know a person better and give more attention to one client then having like 20 people to attend to. my main goal is to assist those who need assistance and help those who cant help themselves, I believe the biggest reward for a CNA, is knowing that you are helping to ensure the health and well being of a human being is being meet.
