About Stephanie

I became a Certified Nursing Assistant because I have always wanted to go into the medical field. When starting the program I realized is that I cared for people and they cared for me as well. I engage with every person that I take care of as if it were myself or family member, making sure that all their needs and the needs of the family are taken care of and they are happy and feel a sense of relief and comfort when they have the right person as a caregiver. I enjoy every aspect of being a caregiver but what I personally enjoy is making them happy, talkative, peaceful and special. I just don't take care of their main cares I take care of the person and what is meaningful to them. A personal achievement that I have had is continuing on for over 7 years as a CNA and finishing school soon as a RN. I am a very outgoing, happy, get what needs to be done diligently and timley, while still making sure that the people I am around are content and happy with the environment and my company as well. I enjoy getting to know people and their experiences and allowing them to blossom under the correct care. I take pride in my work, go the extra mile and still make time to have a good healthy family life as well.

    My passion is Home Health Care. I believe that an individual should be able to stay in their home and receive cares while remaining as independent as possible. I am a confident and professional caregiver. One of my main skills is figuring out all of the client's nuances that will help me to work along with them to make cares at home as comfortable as possible. I am respectful of boundaries. I know that it can be difficult to have a new person come into your home so I try to ease into cares at the client's pace.
