About Claudia

I became a Caregiver to assist those that cannot help themselves any more. I meet some very interesting people and have been blessed to be included with the families on occasion. After someone passes, the spouse is lost and needs companionship that some families cannot provide. I help them become strong again so they can get back to their previous active life with friends and family. I have First Aid/CPR training and Med Tech training. I was an owner/operator of a bakery in the local area and did well for nearly 4 yrs. I learn very quickly, I multi-task for efficiency and am a hard worker.

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.
