Experience & Education

Home Health Aid

Jan 2016 - May 2015

Family Member

I dressed, bathed, fed, the woman I worked with, she happened to be my mother in law. She was chronically ill and could do little for herself. I made sure she was as comfortable as I could make her. I told her stories, sat with her, watched television together, I did light housework when she would rest. Outside of the home I was an Activity Assistant in a Healthcare facility in Cincinnati, Ohio for over three years. Around 1993 I became a Certified Nursing Asst, I worked in that field for about two years in a few different nursing care facilities.

Activity Assistant

Horizon Health Management

I planned activities for small and large groups. I led those activities, I called the Bingo games weekly. I went on outings with residents, I helped set up decorations for parties and would take them back down afterward. I made sure that the entertainment that we hired was there on time and everything went well with that. I read to some of the patients, we celebrated all major holidays together. We had cooking classes, movie days with popcorn, watched baseball games together or football games. Played some table games. Prior to doing activities, I became a Non Certified Medical Assistant in Ohio, in 2007

Sherri H.

Baltimore, MD

My name is Sherri Harper, and I have 30 years of experience in customer service and care giving. Most recently, I attended the Caroline Center obtaining my CNA and GNA certification. Prior to attending the Caroline Center, I had several positions that enabled me to be observant, patient, caring, and compassionate. In addition, these positions enabled me the ability to multi-task and problem-solving utilizing critical thinking. My passion as a caregiver began with my grandparents, who I took care of at home on hospice until they passed. This ignited a desire to ensure our seniors had an advocate to assist and care for them at all times. I have additional experience caring for my god-sister's mother and several church members family.
