About Annie

Hello! My name is Annie & thank you for visiting my profile! :) I was a Special Education major for 4.5 years & absolutely loved every minute, but decided it wasn't the right path for me. I started as a RA and decided to go get my CNA license & I'm so thankful I did! I have learned so much over the past 2 years & I'm so very thankful that I work with a fantastic nurse who's willing to show me nursing "things". I can definitely tell you I never ever imagined myself being anywhere near the healthcare field, but have enjoyed myself so far & looking forward to the future! I enjoy being a caregiver because of the 1 to 1 relationships that develop. I like helping patients and seeing them get stronger day by day. I like keeping active with patients wether it be physical activities or mental activities. I enjoy learning about my patients, their history & being a source of support and encouragement. Not a lot bothers me when it comes to bodily functions & find myself able to deal with/handle situations that arise. In my personal life, I enjoy reading, exploring new places around Michigan, watching Netflix & am a freelance photographer. One of my latest enjoyments are plants & I've learned I have a pretty good green thumb! I have a fur baby named Theodore who is my best little buddy. :)

Experience & Education

CNA

Feb 2018 - Present
Marywood Health Center
I assist residents with their daily needs (dressing, toileting, AM/HS cares, showers, etc.) while they are staying at Marywood Health Center for LTC or rehabilitation. I strive to encourage my patients to do as much as possible independently (or with stand-by assistance) because it will only help them when they return to their home. I pride myself on getting to know my patients beyond just the reason they are on my floor- I like learning about their families, prior jobs and, of course, pets! I love working at MHC and am very fortunate to have a position there.
