About Laquiste

Being helpful to others has always been my passion. Making other smile and feel loved is one of the main reasons I became a Caregiver. Nothing makes me happier than being able to know I had a hand in taking care of someone and made an impact in their lives in a great way. A personal achievement I'm proud of is taking the class and passing when obstacles stayed coming my way and I made it! I have been in a CNA for 8 years and in the medical field for 10 years and I'm still growing and learning and loving it everyday!
