I worked as a Certified Nursing Aide & Physical Therapy Assistant for 6 years. At same facility continued working as a Social Service Designee for 7 years. Have held jobs in Health Care and Hospiltality Field for over 30 years. I enjoy working with people and feel good about doing a job that makes life easier for that person. I have much respect and like to treat people the way I would want to be treated. I am very proud that I raised 4 children between the ages of 8 to 18 & worked multiple jobs . All graduated from college. I am a caring, understanding patient person . I love gardening, reading, being with my 8 grandchildren & children, bowling , plays, movies and travel.
