Samuel Merritt University

Because I am an occupational therapy student, I have been trained on transfers, use of a gait belt, and assistance in activities of daily living (dressing, bathing, toileting, and grooming). Additionally, from my past internships, I have had experience working with people with stroke, dementia, COPD, cardiovascular disorders, and total hip/knee replacements. I am patient, friendly, honest, reliable, trainable, and easy to work with; I believe in collaborating with clients and families to ensure we have a system that works best for both of us.

I have always been a caregiver even as a child I use to help out the seniors in my community; whether it was being a companion, running errands or just helping out around the house. I consider myself to be a great caregiver because I have and show compassion, empathy, love and concern for the overall care of each person I have the honor in serving. I have worked in home care over 15 years; 12 years as a Certified CNA and HHA and 3 years as a caregiver. I have excellent references, good driving record, and reliable transportation.

I am a friendly, compassionate, respectful, positive, dedicated, and hardworking nurse. I am easy to get along with and do not judge. Family is very important to me, so I make sure I take care of those how I would want any family member or myself to be taken care of. I am thankful to be able to help those in need.

It is a blessing to be able to help those in need. I enjoy making a difference, nursing is my passion so I do not consider it a "job."
