Certification

  • Certified CNA, STNA, CNA Med, HHA - Steady 2001 to 2023, except for the years 2020-2022, when I worked at Digikey Electronics.

Certification number-10625278

I've worked in nursing homes, assisted living homes, and homes for the disabled for the last 21 years and have a lot of knowledge of what's expected by my bosses, client's families, and the state of Minnesota, and am now looking for a leadership roll.

Taking care of people, fishing, swimming, walking, camping, listening to music, cleaning

I've always had a passion for helping people and watching them succeed in all areas of life. When I see a positive change in those whom I help, it makes my heart smile. For most of my life I've noticed that others come to me for help and advice, I've gone into jobs being thanked for positively changing things that have been in place for many years. Because of my past experiences of the 21 years (2001-2023), I feel like I have a lot to offer in the leadership roll.

I feel like I'm a big asset to the companies that I've worked for because I put my heart into everything that I do. When I'm given a task, I see it through.

While working, I like to interact with those whom I'm taking care of. Listening to music and dancing around makes them and myself feel loved.

A lot of people like to feel needed, so when I'm cleaning, I ask them to help me with tasks, and they're so proud of what they've accomplished after they're all done.
