Michael Romero
San Diego,CA
Summary
Started as a CNA at the age of 19 right after high school. I worked for a private healthcare agency located in El Cajon for around 4 years. Then, after an unfortunate set of circumstances, I ended up working independently for a family member do to their health decline. I worked in this setting for 5 years. After their passing, I applied to another healthcare agency in the San Diego area. Thanks to my years of experience in the healthcare industry, I've gained many skill sets that are valuable in the field. Some examples include catheter care, ADL care, Alzheimer's & Dementia, patience and compassion and many more. I am very confident in my skills and feel that if hired, I will be a great asset to the company.
