About Nannette

What makes me a great caregiver is that I have over 18 years of experience being a caregiver/CNA. I understand what's it's like from the other side, people have always told me that I'm compassionate and have great empathy. I have always loved working with the elderly and have always felt that my clients are like family to me. One of my proudest achievements is that when I was working as a CNA in my 20s I always had nursing students shadow me. I was told by the instructor it was because I was extremely professional in my job and I always treated my patients like they were my own family.
