About Apolonia

Hello! My name is Apolonia and I am currently working fulltime as a CNA at Clearview in Juneau, WI. I started the nursing assistant program back in 2009 in my senior year of high school and became certified in 2010 shortly after my son was born. However, my first job working with elderly was as an activity aide for the Christian Home and Rehabilitation Center in Waupun. I really enjoyed being able to get the residents out of their rooms to share laughs, reminisce about the good old days, and to just be there for them when they needed someone to talk to. After a year, I decided that I wanted to pursue working as a nursing assistant, so I obtained a position with Century Oaks Assisted Living Center in Oshkosh. Yes, it was a long commute from Waupun everyday, but I absolutely loved it. I started when the second building opened, so not only was I a new cna but I was working in an environment that was entirely brand new and we all grew together. We had an amazing team of people and it never felt like going to work. We just became like family. In 2014, the company was bought out by Capital Senior Living and I stayed working for about a year and then decided it was time to take the next step. So I applied to Clearview because it was closer to home and I now have a more consistent routine for my son. I plan to stay working for Clearview fulltime, but I am looking to take on a possible part time, temporary position or even be on call certain days. Either way, I am definitely looking forward to caring for your loved one!

I became a caregiver for the love of helping people. I like to believe I can make a difference in someone's life and help them continue a life with dignity and respect everyone deserves. I have worked in several health care fields that include hospital, residential homes, nursing homes as well as personal home care. I am a certified nursing assistant, medical assistant, and I have worked as a phlebotomist, and have had first responder training. I have been in the healthcare field off and on for the past 20 years, and have taken care of many friends and family membrs, worked with demetia, down syndrome, children and elderly. I am always willing to learn more, and work as hard as I need to in order to achieve a goal.
