East Texas Baptist University

My name is Deanna. I'm looking for a better pay job. I work as a teacher aide at the moment at a high school and I need something better. I'm a very respectful person. I'm a fast learner and really good with elderly people. I love to read, write, listen to music and other therapeutic things. I'm a single mother and I'm trying to provide for my son and I the best way I can.

I am a sincere positive caring patient person. I am cut out for job because of my life experiences with different types of individuals. I have more than 5 years experience with working seniors and other individual groups of people in different settings and environments. I love people in general and would be humble enough to serve them with honesty and respect.

I am a very outgoing and loving person. I enjoy talking and hearing about people as well as getting to know them. I used to go with my mom to work when I was nine, and I fell in love with nursing homes. When I was seventeen, I began volunteering at a local nursing home. At eighteen, I got my CNA license, and worked with the same company until I had to move in June of this year. I enjoy connecting with individuals and learning about them and their lives. My personal achievement I'm most proud of outside of my degree was getting volunteer of the month. It was an honor to be able to help others.

Things that make me a great caregiver; I love to help others and be their advocate. Great people skills, hard working, dependable. What attracted me to be a caregiver; seeing the difference that I can make in others rehabilitation or end of life care. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver; is knowing that I was able to be there for someone in their time of need. Personal achievement that I am proud of; working on my degree/nursing school while being a single mother.

I enjoy our senior adults and getting to know their stories!
