Summary

My ideal job has always been to be a pediatrician, and I still have that desire. Until I get that title, every age group needs a CNA. I got my CNA back in 2016 and since then this career choice has grown on me. I am comfortable doing this work, and I know a lot of the ins and outs of this felid of work, I've worked with younger and older differently abled people in there homes and in facilities. I am a very reliable worker. I adapt fairly quickly to new work environments. When its time to work im ready to work! Im not the employee that works for the money, I work because I enjoy the field of work I do. I am always open to challenging myself to learn something new. I always like when I can go into a new work environment and someone can learn something from me. I love meeting new personalities that I could potentially be caring for. I know one of the biggest things they told me when i first started in health care field was not to get attached or get to close to the ones we are only caring for, that is a challenge I face. You know the patients that are scared, the ones who are away from home, someone new always coming to care for them. Me as a CNA I get to know the people I am caring for more then anyone in the health care field. When you are the one there for them daily, sometimes providing some of the most personal care needs for them, when your there for that companionship, the fact that they have depend on you, its gets hard not building a bond with that person. With all that being said, if I am one of the lucky ones to work at your company you will not regret it. You will be pleasantly surprised with what i have to offer as a member of your team.
