Barry University

I have a strong desire to work with elderly and individuals with disabilities. My experiences at my previous jobs have prepared me to perform HHA tasks efficiently. For instance, I am highly skilled in providing personal care to clients including oral hygiene, nail care, dressing, feeding, bathing and skin care. Furthermore, I am very expert in cooking nutritious meals, taking vital signs accurately, and assisting clients in the activities of daily living using different techniques.

My name is Yaniah Sanchez and I am a 19-year-old sophomore at Barry University. I'm currently studying business and accounting but I am a certified phlebotomist. For the last two years, my grandmother was in end-stage liver failure. I was her caregiver at the time while in school. I took care of her during her last few months while in hospice. Despite never gaining my CNA certification, I have several years of experience taking care of a 73-year-old daily at Synergy Homecare.
