About Adriana

Care-giving started for me because of family. The more I worked with the nurses and rehabilitation specialists, home health care then eventually hospice; the more I was told I should pursue a career in healthcare. Leaving my long time career of being a teacher was hard however taking care of others in any capacity has always been apart of me. Now I have been a CNA for almost 2 years; I love it! I find that a good balance of playfulness and genuine concern can be key in building a trusting relationship with my clients.

I was a caregiver for 6 months after I separated from the navy. I worked with 3 very kind ladies in a house. One of the things that enjoyed the most was really feeling like I was continually improving the quality of their lives. There so much that needed to be done that the 12-hour shift just flew by. I take the time to learn clients' personalities and reciprocate what I believe they are looking for. I'm very big on clarification and communication. One of my clients had early onset dementia that was very advanced, one little to no speech, and one was completely wheelchair bound. Despite this these ladies were a pleasure to work with and I effortlessly treated them with the utmost respect & empathy. It was a pleasure to work with these ladies and I diffidently appreciated how excited they would get when I walked through the door. Looking to get back into a career path that allows me to be fulfilled as well as isn't continuous high stress.
