I am presently a Restorative Aide (CNA) at the Lutheran Home on North Ave in Milwaukee. Previously, I was a CNA at the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center, in the SCI/D wing (spinal cord injury/disorder). I left in search of a more balanced work environment. Additional duties (ones I don't have listed), can definitely be negotiated! I obtained my CNA the start of August 2021. I grew up with my own Grandmother telling me to stop hovering and go offer help to someone who needed it...she also frequently told me, until the day she passed, "Sarah, you would be good working with people, especially like me". I'm guessing she was referring to my patience, helpfulness, and understanding, especially working with "an old gal like her (Grandma's words, not mine). The elderly/frail population is the most I have worked with, but I'm by far not limiting myself to this population only! I have worked with clients with the following diseases/disorders/afflictions: Multiple Sclerosis Parkinson's Disease Various other neurodegenerative diseases COPD Injury to the spine at various levels Missing limb or parts of limb Different stages of Alzheimer's and general dementia Helping with recovery from a stroke at home RA Clients at various stages of cancer treatment And many more specific cases, too numeral to properly list here. Please ask about specific skills you require for proper care of your loved one! I don't have all skills/experiences listed, but I have been in the field of caring for over five years now and I love it! I have found my career niche in the work world! Thank you for your consideration, four professional references may be supplied upon request. Be happy, smile, and stay safe and healthy! Cheers! Sarah T.

Iam a very caring, smart loving person. Just the love for the elderly caring for my dad and grandparents is what really attracted me to giving good care giving I love to take good care of elderly adults as I would hope someone would do for my family . I enjoy the company, conversation of when they were young and hearing good things about them and things they liked and like to do. My personal achievement im proud of is I went and signed up for college i must say Im proud of myself for stepping out on faith and getting some courses done.
