About Angela

Empathy, humanity and support for others, being the heart of my personality, made me opt for a career in healthcare about ten years ago. I have experience of working on positions similar to the job description as yours. Being able to manage and deal with individuals of various different disabilities and understand that every individual requires separate attention with distinctively varying needs. From this, I have learned to professionally carry out my responsibilities by exceptionally monitor residents/individuals/patients for changes in condition and reported in time to the respective person in charge and/or guardian. I can also outstandingly perform First Aid and CPR duties initiating emergency response procedures whenever required. Being enthusiastic to grasp more in this gratifying field, I know that my passion in the healthcare field services will compliment your needs and requirements. At the moment, I am currently living in Tempe after my big move from Michigan one month ago. I think the state of Arizona is extremely beautiful and am proud to say I am an Arizona resident!

I know when they grow old they need somebody to listen, talk and just be there for them. What I am proud of is making them smile and help them at the same time. I have five kids and eight grand kids. I don't have my parents anymore but to me taking care of anybody that needed help is like taking care of my parents. I am very easy to get along with. If I can be given the opportunity to prove myself.
