I am a very compassionate person and I take the lives of those that I care for very serious. I am a very reliable person and very patient with the client. I have been In the healthcare field for over 7 yrs and I love what I do .

I am a loving and caring person and I love helping others. I love my job and what it allows me to do for others. I have been on the receiving end of having a loved one get very sick and bounce back and forth from nursing home to hospital so I know all too well not just the physical but the emotional strain that situations like these can have for people and family's. This is why I try my best to help the best I can in any situation. I choose to get into this line of work because unfortunately I had to see first hand with a loved one that not everyone is properly taken care of or even cared about in these situations and that is just awful and unfair. When my loved one passed away I vowed to make a difference, even if its just one person or a small few its better then none or just doing nothing.

I am very patient and lovely with elderly people and everyone

I was employed with a doctor of Internal Medicine as an office assistant but I found I preferred working more closely with the patients than that position afforded me. I have extensive experience with taking care of the elderly and the terminally ill as I have taken care of both my grandmother and my terminally ill daughter. My grandmother lived to be 97 and I took care of all her needs till till she was taken to a nursing home by my aunt 2 years before her death. Also, I took care of my daughter who fought a three year battle with osteoscarcoma. After a short recovery she relapse and the tumors began growing in her lungs. She was on hospice care with Gilchrist and they came once a week for 15 minute visits thus the bulk of her care was administered by me till she passed away at home. I have done much charity work including, work with the homeless, senior center enrichment classes (crochet), and Meals on Wheels. I enjoy being outside and taking walks, animals of all kinds, and reading. I am a quiet and patient individual and have great compassion for all but especially the young, elderly and ill. I am at my best with one on one interactions where bonds and friendships can be made. It is my desire to move to PA, between the Shrewsbury and York area so I am very interested in Norther MD, York to Southern PA positions.

From experience of being a GNA, I prefer tending to one client and building a relationship. I gain fulfillment from helping others and have realized from experience that being a home health aid is satisfying.
