Work Experience
I have no formal work experience, but have 2 experiences which prepare me for accepting greater responsibility. At my house, I was the oldest child, with 4 younger sisters and brothers and took responsibility for supporting my family by acting like a “substitute” mother for the younger children.
I am now helping my Aunt Sally, who is a licensed Alzheimers Caregiver, as a caregiver assistant and that gives me some initial experience in the health care industry.
I am very interested in the part time position and am committed to provide excellent service and do quality work. Please call if I can answer any questions you have or if you would like me to come for an interview.
