Summary
With a strong dedication as a wife and mother of five, caregiving has always been an integral part of my daily routine. My journey in the healthcare industry began in 2016 at an Assisted Living Facility (ALF), where I discovered a genuine passion for the work. This led me to obtain my CNA license. While periodically taking breaks to give birth and nurture my children, I have remained actively involved in the field. I also explored phlebotomy from 2019 to 2021 but have since recommitted myself fully to the CNA field starting in 2022.
