Personal Care Assistant
Quakertown,PA
Summary
I am a first generation immigrant who is working under DACA and living the American dream. Being a student at Montgomery county community college I was introduced able to learn a lot about the nursing world, but I transferred to Gwynedd Mercy University to major in nursing. The classes I partake in help get me closer to the health field, by being able to be nurse. Not only is learning new material interesting to me, but I enjoy putting it to work. Overall, I’d like to purse this any learning opportunity in order to help those around me & allow me to gain experience for the future with better skills in communication and help. I have Personal Care Aide experience in assisting clients with mental impairments or physical limitations to manage everyday tasks. Skilled in pediatric care and providing companionship and direct assistance to cognitively impaired clients.
