About Gina

I am a deeply loving, caring, patient, and compassionate caregiver. I enjoy the elderly, and all ages below that. My mother took care of her mother in our home. She was my first example of a true caregiver. As an aide for three years and a caregiver for a year, I professionally cared for the elderly and ages in between. I cared for mentally challenged and physically challenged individuals. I have worked with the hearing impaired, dementia issues on many levels, the blind, and diabetic challeges. I have the ability to adapt to a multiplicity of situations and personalities. What I enjoy most is providing a positive and safe environment where the client feels of worth. What I like about being a caregiver/aide is the opportunity to care for so many precious individuals young and old. I became a caregiver because it brings such satisfaction and joy. I enjoy playing the piano and reading.

I became a caregiver because I love taking care of people, it gives me a pleasure to see that I can help people who can't help themselves. My personal achievement that I'm proud of is that I was able to be a caregiver for my mom who had brain cancer but passed last June due to her illness,and still worked as a c.n.a in geriatrics.

I became a care giver after my husband became ill with cancer. The treatment he got in the hospital and hospice makes me sick to my stomach. Especially the way some nurses spoke to him. I then decided to become a CNA so I can help him and the other patients who really need proper care. To treat every one of my patients the way I would like to be treated if and when I get sick. Other words treat them the way I want to be treated. My personal achievement that I'm proud off is right after giving my client his bath on 10/28/14, he hold my hand and told me thank you for everything, and I love you then took his last breath. That told me for the five years I was taking care of him I was doing a good job. My name Jenette, I've been a CNA for 19 years. Worked at Lincoln Hospital in NY as a PCT for 5 years. Moved from NY to Atlanta GA where I've worked as a CNA or Home Health Aid for 12 years. I love my job very much. Taking care of the sick is what I do, and I do it to the best of my knowledge.
