Danville Area Community Colleg ...

I have been a Certified Nursing Assistant since October of 2004. I have had the rewarding opportunity to care for many people with various conditions. Through my experiences, I have excelled in areas of patience, empathy, and communication. My caregiving skills include, but are not limited to; bathing, skin care, dressing, feeding, repositioning, ambulating, toileting, obtaining vital signs, transferring, preparing and serving food, medication reminders, oral hygiene, hospice care, and cleaning living spaces. I enjoy going above and beyond my expected responsibilities to ensure excellent care. I remain sensible and approach high pressure issues appropriately, according to urgency. I am results oriented. I think in terms of what else can be done efficiently, yet with a quality outcome. I take ownership of my job and hold myself accountable. I am flexible and willing to handle a variety of tasks in an organized manner. I am a compassionate person and I am always ready to help others in both my personal and professional life. I work well with all kinds of people and can adapt to their lifestyle and environment.

I am a 32 year old seasoned caregiver. I love my job I love to help others. I have been a caregiver over 10 years. I took care of my father before he passed in the year 2015. I knew then this was my calling in life to help others stay in their homes and live comfortably while having all the help they need. Helping others is the pride and joy of my life every day. I love to give back to those in need.

I am a gentle hearted and soft spoken compassionate person. I've always wanted to pursue a career where I was able to help others. The thing I most enjoy about caregiving is that it is personal. I'm looking at home care as a career path because it allows you to make those connections by being one on one and allows me to put all of my effort into one person as well as being less stressful that a facility setting.
