About Gem

I decided I wanted to help others when I went with my mother to work a couple of times. Seeing her work with the elderly and disabled really warmed my heart and I knew that it was something I wanted to do in the future.. I am now a CNA and very happy in this field. I would like to take it further in the healthcare system.

I became a caregiver because I care about the well-being of the elderly. The smile on their faces is overwhelming and makes me feel good inside. I am dependable, responsible, and honored to take care of the patients I meet and have a positive impact on their lives. I have up-to-date CNA and BLS certifications. I also have 6 years' experience working with the elderly, assisting them with eating, bathing, dressing, toileting etc. I get a sense of satisfaction from helping patients feel comfortable and loved.
