    Calm, cool, and collected. I am a nursing assistant with mainly home healthcare experience. When it comes to caring for others I excel at maintaining and developing an atmosphere safe enough for clients at all times. I treat those in my care like family, while still maintaining professional conduct. I strive to build trusting & lasting connections. Being a nursing assistant has been amazing, but my goal is to complete my education as a physcian's assistant. Caring for others comes so natural for me that furthering my education in the field of health is simply a bonus & a blessing. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Kotty

    I became a caregiver five years ago because I love to help others and make them feel comforted. What I like most about being a caregiver is that I know i'am helping others that need it most, especially when their families can not always be there to help. I like making others feel loved and comforted. I'am proud of all the certificates I have received in the past five years of being a Personal Care Worker. Iam a 26 year old female with no children who has a big heart. I always put others needs before mine and love taking care of and helping others.
