Shakira Carter
Daytona Beach,FL
Summary
I am a Compassionate Certified Nursing Assistant with hands-on experience in nursing homes and rehabilitation centers, providing attentive care to residents and patients who can no longer fully care for themselves. I’m self-reliant and take initiative, always aiming to solve problems independently before seeking assistance from higher-ups. Above all, I prioritize safety, dignity, and respect, while still encouraging residents to maintain as much independence as possible. I approach every interaction with empathy and patience, offering emotional support and working to enhance residents’ overall well-being and quality of life.
