About JAMAICA MARIE

My personality traits include shyness, helpfulness, friendliness, sympathy, a fondness for historical stories, honesty, positivity, and the ability to be an attentive and understanding listener. I was drawn to the role of a caregiver. When I was 16 years old, I asked my mother if I could assist her with my sister. I have been assisting my sister ever since, as she has Down Syndrome. I love her deeply and am patient with her. I take my time guiding her through daily life, always by my mother's side. I enjoy every aspect of my role as a caregiver. I find fulfillment in providing care, emotional support, kindness, patience, and good listening skills to my clients. I also enjoy engaging in meaningful conversations with them. My goal is to provide compassion, affection, empathy, and stability in their lives. My personal achievements include earning my PCA Certification in October 2023 and being named Employee of the Year for my work with Cross Mark for three years in 2023. Additionally, I make monthly donations to the fallen soldiers and the fire departments.

Ive been a CNA for 20 yrs, received my license in North Carolina in 2001 and in Virginia in 2009. I believe the most important thing that makes me a great CNAs is patience and understanding. The reason why I became a CNA is I find joy in the elderly. They are knowledgeable, they make you laugh,and you can learn alot from them. I get great joy in seeing the smiles on their faces because they're pleased with me.
