My career as a Home Health Aide began in the year of 2014 when I moved from Brooklyn N.Y.C to come and help my two elder sister's care for my now 96 years young mother and my second oldest sister who has passed away after struggling and suffering for over fifteen years with Lou Gehrig's disease. I first obtained a passing test grade average of 85% in pursuit of gaining a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant ) certificate and layer went on to gain a HCSS (Home and community Support Services) enabling me to care for patients with traumatic brain injury as well as physical injuries. I'm attempting to achieve a higher level of education at the present so I'm looking for per diem and/or parttime positions only.
