Summary
I'm a devoted and hardworking individual who has lots of patients, and knows how to show compassion towards others. I'm someone who is grateful for any learning opportunities I receive in any work atmosphere. I have over 10 years in caregiver experience and also obtained a Certificate of completion in Medical Assisting. Certificate for First Aid/CPR/AED for Adults and Pediatrics are up to date. When my husband was stationed in Green Bay, Wisconsin, I would enjoy volunteering my time to Syble Hopp School and Pioneer Elementary when my schedule allowed it. Because of my volunteering at Pioneer Elementary I was informed of a job opening as a Health Aid. I enjoyed having the opportunity to be the Heath Aid for Ashwaubenon school district. The school district nurse had me provide care at the pre-school and an elementary school in the district when needed. I'm looking for a part-time position that come with 15 - 20 hrs and that accommodate school holidays.
