About Janet

Ever since I started working in the health care industry, I have been passionate in my commitment to two things: inspiring patients to recovery and instilling a sense of self-worth among patients and adults in need. I have dedicated my career to each of these pursuits, as my enclosed resume will attest. My background includes serving as a certified nursing assistant, performing various duties and in various settings. In this capacity I have maintained records of patient care, condition, progress, or problems to report and discuss observations with supervisor or case manager, assisted with range of motion exercises and activities as directed by the registered nurse or LPN, made sure respirators were operating properly for patients that required this, provided patients with important social and emotional support, utilize strong clinical skills in assessing vital signs, and providing pre- and post-operative care. I also bring to the table strong computer proficiencies in MS Word, MS Excel and PowerPoint applications. Please see the accompanying resume for details of my experience and education. I have work for various organizations including Blackford at Home, Nashville, TN, Lakeshore Meadow, Nashville, TN, West mead Place Nursing home, Nashville, TN. I am currently working as a private care giver for an elderly family located in Bellemeade, TN. My quest and passion to learn about health care has led me to undertake various educational programs and recently I graduated from

The love I have for people whom can't help themselves what has help me to be a great caregiver from working in daycares to working in private homes with other love ones. What attracted me to being a caregiver is my family gave care for years I watched my mother work in nursing homes to private duty nursing as a little girl growing up to have a heart. What I enjoy the most about caregiving is seeing a smile on there face just to know a stranger can care so much. I achieved a heart for people. I achieve growth in the company I work for also I went from working in the homes to working in the office. I was so proud of myself
