Des Moines Area Community Coll ...

To help people that need a little help with there daily routine, weather that be cooking, cleaning, shower, or anything else. The thing that I like best about be a caregiver is seeing the smile on someones face knowing that you helped them and it makes you feel good about helping someone. So far my persona; achievement that I am proud of is going to college, becoming a CNA and going for my LVN and RN. I love working in the healthcare field I have worked in the healthcare field for over 10 years and love it.

A little about me i graduated from Hoover High School in Des Moines in 2018.I currently attend Des Moines Area Community College and will be graduating in May with a certification and AAS in Early Childhood Education. I have been working as a Certified Nurse Aide since 2018 and love meeting new people and learning about the things they enjoy most and being able to help be there and care for them.

I'm a compassionate single mom who has always loved helping others. I have a long history in the health care field. CPR certified. In the process of being registered to do daycare. Was certified nurse aide but let my certification lapse due to job changes.

I am a nuturer. It's what I do. I have four children of my own and I am pursuing a career in nursing while simultaneously running a daycare out of my home so I am also very good at multitasking. My various job locations is due to my marriage to a man in the Marine Corps, and while I did enjoy our adventures, it also hindered my career growth. Due to unforseen circumstances, I am venturing to Georgia on my own with my four children in tow and the only thing I am 100% sure of is that I KNOW how to take care of people. I spent time with my grandmother who had dementia. On one occasion, my mother was having a difficult time getting her to take her meds and my Grandma asked her, "Are you SURE this is all of them?" in a snippy way. My mom was growing frustrated with the way my Grandma was being stubborn about everything but I just laughed and said, 'Mom! She's just being a smartalleck!" My Grandma laughed and laughed. Later, my Aunt told me that was the first time she had laughed in a LONG time. It was then that I realized that just because someone has dementia, it doesn't mean they don't have a sense of humor or they're TRYING to be difficult. They just want to feel heard and acknowledged.
