Summary

As a CNA, I'm experienced with patient care and daily living assistance. I do my best to use constructive communication, while still being empathetic and understanding and I do my best to make sure the patient and their families are comfortable, understanding the situation and safe. I move with purpose and work in a high stress environments where I have to use problem solving skills and critical thinking all the time to make sure the best care is being given to our patients but that staff and patients are safe at all times.

Lead Hostess

City Fire
The Villages, FL
08.2012 - 08.2013
  • As lead hostess at City Fire, I worked on customer service: greeting customers and seating them at tables and had to make sure I didn't seat too fast or that would overload the servers and kitchen, causing unhappy customers to wait for their food longer. I would take reservations over the phone and work on using the best customer service I could. Being the first face people see when they walk in, and also the first person to deal with complicated situations, I had to remain composed. Things there were not apart of my job that I did to try and be a better team player: bussed tables, vacuumed and cleaned, served food and drinks.
