I fall into friendships with the people l come into contact with and enjoy their company as well as being there for them. They have a wealth of knowledge to share and l always learn from them. I actually took over one of my mother's clients when in high school and she became my grandmother, and very dear to me. That was my first experience which l enjoyed immensely. I've been in the field solidly since 1984 when l got into a fender bender and my doctor hired me. I was trained to be an MA,, then in 1998 we moved to Seattle from California where l became a CNA. I worked at Fircrest with special needs clients and floated as a CNA to nursing homes and hospitals, and locked units to ICU. I know how family wants their loved ones treated and happy to oblige. I took care of my own mother in her time of need because l wanted her to have the best care. My goal is to make sure your loved one gets that same care because that is where real satisfaction stems from.
