Hello. My name is Marissa and I have been a LVN for 2 years now. I have mainly worked in skilled nursing facilities but also have experience with psych. I love my career and am very passionate about helping others. I am hard working, compassionate and kind. I treat all my patients how I'd want my family members to be treated. If chosen for a job, I will perform my duties to the best of my abilities and strive for perfection

Dedicated and passionate Registered Nurse with experience working in skilled nursing facilities. Proven ability to provide direct patient care in fast paced environment and use of critical thinking in high-stress situations. Use of strong verbal communication and quality bed side manner with emphasis on empathy and compassion to develop strong relationships with patients and their families.

I love providing home caregiving services to those that would otherwise not be able to do so. I have always wanted to help people and what gives me satisfaction is the smile on their faces which is also a sign that I am doing my job right. I love caregiving because I love helping people, helping people is what I love doing most. A personal achievement I am proud of is the fact that I was able to take care of my dad when he was in need. I am a very happy person, honest, hardworking, eager to learn new things, I offer selfless services to others and also a team member

I am confident that I am a great caregiver due to my dedication to serve. I have a high level of empathy that has stemmed from my mother's many years of experience as a nurse, past volunteering experiences in hospital settings, and my experience as a nurse aide. I work well and keep myself motivated even in disturbing situations. I have a high tolerance for challenging care giving tasks, and love to learn new challenging fundamental nursing tasks as needed. I became a caregiver after realizing that I had the willingness to serve after spending time volunteering at a Kindred Hospital within my neighborhood my last year of high school. I had received compliments from my health science instructor on my attitude and energy despite a patients bad day. It was from this stepping stone experience as a teenager that I knew that God had instilled the gift of strong empathy and the willingness to serve towards care giving. I like being a caregiver because to me it doesn't feel like a job, it feels more like me just being able to fully be myself. I feel that the care giving role naturally fits my personality and my purpose in life, just as God has intended. Due to me being in my first year of nursing school, the experience as a caregiver will shape and mold me into that model of a nurse that is greatly needed in today's society. My main personal achievement at this time that I'm proud of is making it into a nursing program, and being able to use the foundation I have as a caregiver

1.I became a caregiver, because at the time I had a close relative who needed care and I took the responsibility to care for them after school and it became second nature to me. I then realized that i enjoyed helping those in need and whose who could not help themselves, it make me feel important and it is a good feeling to know that someone trusts you to make them feel better and make life easy for them. 2. As mentioned before, I enjoy feeling important in someones life that they trust me to make their life easier and I enjoy knowing that I am trusted to take on such a huge responsibility. 3. I am most proud of the fact I came to this country at 17 all the way from South Africa and made a life for myself, I have built strong relationships with people, and I have learnt from others and most importantly learnt to become a responsible and respectable member of society. I taught myself to become a care giver without any form of training and over the years as my experience grew, I decided I wanted to really care others and now I am pursuing a career in Nursing. 4. I speak 6 Southern African Languages and currently learning American Sign Language to make that 7 in total, I am currently a Nursing student at West Coast University and I am looking to be a Caregiver as well because it is something I truly enjoy doing. I have 7 years experience working with the elderly in their homes also in several elderly care facilities and I personally enjoy working one on one, because I fully fo

I love what I do because I can make a huge difference in people's lives. By providing companionship and emotional support, caregiving makes other's lives less lonely and more joyful. It also helps them stay connected with their community and remain independent for longer periods of time. I've been in the medical field as well .

I am 20 years old and have been pursuing my dream to become an RN since high school.

I have been a caregiver for most of my life. Starting with family members then eventually working in the field with others. I have worked as a caregiver for the developmentally disabled as well as dementia patients. Additionally, I am in school to obtain my BSN and I am 8 months away from acheiving that, so I have a wide variety of knowledge on many disorders and have seen them in the clinical setting. I thoroughly enjoy helping others, it has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. From donating blood, to persuing a profession dedicated to helping others, to becoming a surrogate, I truly love to help those in need on every level. Personally, I am proud of being a mother going through nursing school.
