Summary

I am currently seeking a position as a Personal Care Assistant. As a third-semester nursing student, I am on track to complete my Med-Surg clinical rotation by July of this year. I bring hands-on experience in assisting with daily living activities, monitoring vital signs, patient observation, charting, and delivering proficient, compassionate care. I am also skilled in therapeutic communication and building strong interpersonal relationships with patients, families, and co-workers.

My background in childcare, combined with clinical experience, has equipped me with the ability to provide attentive and respectful support to patients. I am committed to maintaining confidentiality, adapting to changing situations, and fostering a positive, team-oriented environment.
