About Gerri

Greetings all, I became a licensed Geriatric Nurse Assistant, Homecare Aide as well as Alzheimer's & Dementia care assistant because I simply love to help people become their best as possible. I believe that when you care for people, God smiles on those who are servants of the Lord and Blesses those who genuinely care about the well-being of people of all nationalities and race. I am a Multi-Racial GNA who is currently in nursing school and appreciate working with the physically disabled, Geriatric's, Long-Term care, Home care, and people with special needs. I am licensed and well experienced for more than 10 years working within hospital ICU, ER, Cardiology and Inpatient settings with both Acute and Chronic situations of health. I am reliable, efficient, kind, respectful and diligent in my career. Thank you for reading my little summary.

    $15.00/hour · Arnold, MD
    I'm a CPR trained and a CNA who is completing my 3rd of 5 years in a Physician Assistant program. I've worked in an assisted living facility for close to a year taking care of patients for both morning and evening routines. That care included, but was not limited to, bathing, bed baths, incontinence care, toileting, and other general parts of daily routines. I love developing personal relationships with my residents and I always make sure they know that their personal care is important to me. I have a certified background check and negative TB test, with references available on request.
