Lauren Condon
East Hartford,CT
Summary
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) who has been passionate about providing care since earning my license in 2019 through a high school program. Starting my career in clinical settings at Masonic and Gaylord facilities, I gained valuable experience working with geriatric patients. These early experiences taught me the importance of compassion, patience, and attentiveness in caregiving. While I enjoyed my work with seniors, I quickly realized my true calling was working with children. This led me to my current role as a pediatric CNA at Benhaven Academy, where I assist children with their daily medical needs. My responsibilities include providing hygiene support, taking vital signs, feeding (including feeding tube management), and helping with mobility. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment and building meaningful connections with the children and their families. I’m committed to making a positive difference in the lives of those I care for and am excited to bring my skills and dedication to a new role that allows me to continue growing and serving others.
