About Carissa

I worked for Community Visions in Spokane, WA for 5 months. I took care of developmentally disabled adults and it was amazing. I have a medical assisting degree that I acquired from Carrington College 3 years ago. That never happened for me because I ended up having my son who is 2 years old now. But I am signed up for CNA training classes now and want to get my certification to become a nurse. My job as a caregiver was great. I absolutely loved it and decided that is what my true calling is. I got let go in August though because of Family Emergencies that were happening at that time. But Community Visions would tell anyone that I was one of their best employees and a very hard worker for the 5 months I was there.

    Being from the Philippines, I come from a culture that cares for their elderly as a natural part of life. I have been a caregiver, here in the US, for 23+ years. I have managed, and worked in Adult Family Homes, and also cared for my beloved patients in my home and theirs. I have found that I am intuitive about subtle changes they display that mark health problems early. Most importantly, I have loved every one of my people. I am registered NAR in the State of WA.
