I knew I wanted to work in home health care when I was 15. My grandma lived with us and I would help care for her, and since I wanted to help people and care for them. I was a certified pharmacy technician for 5 years and then decided i wanted to do more to help people so I went back to school get my Medical Assistant Diploma. I have also cared for my own family member who was diagnosed with AML (Acute Myloyid Leukemia).

I am an experienced housekeeper. I have three and half years of working experience in housekeeping. Before I was employed, I had side jobs cleaning a church and apartment buildings. I also have gained much experience from keeping my own house in order while growing up. I have organizational skills and I have helped at dinner parties and birthday parties. I also have experience with taking care of children. I am a nanny/babysitter. I have experience working with children from infants to young teens. I enjoy working with people and I don't view my job as only a means to make money, but also an opportunity to bless whoever I am under employment.
