Vincenza O.

My name is Mikala McMillan , I am 21 years old. I have been PCA certified since 2019 , and I have been a DSP since 2021. I am CPR certified since 2020. I've worked around all age ranges (kids , adults and the elderly). I've worked in homes , facilities , day programs , residential homes and comhab. Since I was young I always wanted to be a teacher or pediatrician because I love to help and teach people and I love children. When I turned 18 in 2019 that same month I went and got certified as PCA and ever since I've been elevating in different job areas with different ages and activities of living. What I enjoy most about my job is being a role model to those I work for and to know that my help can go a long way for those who are in need of that support. A personal achievement I am very proud of is graduating a year ahead in high school with honors diploma . I graduated 2018 and ever since Ive been looking forward to learning many new things for my future. I am always open to working in different areas , with an open schedule and being able to learn new skills as well as teaching those in need of such as independent living skills , money management , cooking , etc .

I know how to empathize, how to be patient and flexible, how to be passionate about what he or she does. I am attentive and responds to situations in a timely manner, and I put the needs of his or her patient first, and am able to take charge when necessary, I am honest and trustworthy. I enjoyed taking care of elder family members and would like to help others in this way. I like older adults and I feel I can get along well with a variety of elders. I learned everything I can, I get creative when I have to, and I do my best. Caregiving is a huge personal accomplishment.
