Marie W.

Kind and caring with good listening skills. Self motivated, take instruction well, and not afraid to ask questions. I have good communication and observation skills. Will make sure the client is comfortable and will ask permission to help with tasks. I want to help your loved one while maintaining their dignity. Helping people has always been my calling. Making someone smile is very rewarding and knowing that I made a difference in someone's day.

I am an enthusiastic and dedicated professional with more than two decades of experience in the healthcare professions as both a Registered Nurse in Colombia and a Certified Nurse Assistant in the United States. In my most recent job, I worked as a Certified Nurse Assistant who provided outstanding healthcare services to residents at Heartis of Waco Assisted Living and Memory Care. Prior to moving to the United States in 2008, I worked for more than 8 years as a surgical room nurse in a cosmetic surgery clinic in my native country of Colombia. Additionally, I possess strong attention to detail and am able to keep accurate and concise written service records. My interpersonal and communication skills are outstanding: I am fluent in Spanish and proficient in English, and I am adept at helping people to open up and to feel at ease. Patients have told me on many occasions that they feel comfortable talking to me about some of their deepest personal matters and feel confident that I will provide assistance to them without judgment. I have no doubt you will find that I am a consummate professional with a high regard for clients and the ability to provide counseling and outreach in a compassionate manner. Thank you for your time.
