About Gina

Hi my name is Gina, I am a CERTIFIED NURSE AID (CNA) of 15 years. I have experience in working in nursing homes, private care, hospice, assisted living and as a traveling Cna as well. What helps me be a great caregiver is helping out families with their loved ones. I love helping out my residents, I help them with every day living needs. I'll keep you company and protect you while under my care. What made me want to become a Cna was when I was a teen, I was working at a facility as a housekeeper and my Aunt was a resident at facility I worked at. My Aunt was blind so she would put the call light or yell for help, well as a housekeeper I was told that we are not to assist residents only can wheel them into dinning room. Well I was mopping down a hall way across from where my aunt would stay and I seen her call light blinking, so I said to myself well the Cna will get it soon. I went back to mopping, I'm down a diff hall now and I still see her light on and I hear her yelling, so I tell the nurse and they said they be there in a bit, nurse went out to smoke and I can still hear her calling out for help. Well I was busy doing my job, next thing I know I see that paramedics rushing into her room and so I left what I was doing and went to see why paramedics went to her room. I come up to her room and what I saw made me run out and call my mother which was her sister. I was soooo furious, what I saw was the EMT guy giving her cpr she was on the floor with blood everywhere and she passed away. I was so upset with the nurses, that if only they would have taken 5 mins out there time to answer that call light or answer her yelling for help she would be here. So after all this passes I told myself I was going to take the Cna class and be a better caregiver than they we're showing me that day. I don't like to ignore light or call for help. I want to be there to protect them, some residents don't have anyone, we as a caregiver are their family. I listen, I love, I help, I care

I am very good at anticipating needs and have an eye for detail. I am a very compassionate person. I always try to think it's my client, but could be a very close relative. I'm simply a people person and giver. I provided my father personal hospice care to know his last days were pain-free and as comfortable as possible and with as much dignity as the situation would allow.
