About Nikia

My name is Nikia Charles What makes me great caregiver is the compassion that have for people and the love that I have supporting people who's not able to help themselves. Or just need someone to listen to them to have a conversation with that care.... I became caregiver because me being rise by my grandfather and helping out a lot at home, at his restaurant business. Now my grandfather has Alzheimer he is in a nursing home where gets all the care need because my step grandmother did not know how to take care of him so they put in nursing home to get care he need. Working in nursing home around elderly patients see how they don't have any family to care about them or their family my not be able to come sit with them do to work. What I like about being about caregiver is helping people that want to be helped. My personal achievement is me getting my certification as a Basic Life Support Healthcare Provider I'm officially legal Healthcare Provider. I am very proud myself of having a certification other than cooking.

Work in this class differs from that of Cook I primarily in the greater degree of responsibility for planning and scheduling food preparation. General supervision is received from the Kitchen Manager who prescribes menus, but the employee is expected to use knowledge acquired through training and experience in making independent decisions with regard to type of meals served, method of food preparation, and supervising employees in the kitchen.
