About Rachel

I became a caregiver because I'm a very compassionate person and have a desire to help others, mainly the elderly and persons with disabilities. The main thing I like about being a caregiver is making a difference in another person’s life. One personal achievement I made was taking the initiative to complete my CNA courses to become a health care professional I am very outgoing and enjoy working with others. I'm a team player. I have three years experience working in long term care as a recreation assistant and have two years experience working in a hospital setting as both a unit secretary and Patient Care assistant.
