I am an experienced certified nursing assistant of 15 plus years. I have worked in a home health setting, as well as a short/ long term skilled nursing facility for many years.
I have a great desire to care for those around me. I love to build those relationships of trust and to be of aid to those in need. I believe to truly succeed, personally and as a team, and to touch the lives of those that we care for on a daily basis, we must truly love the job in which we do. I believe that caring for the elderly, or those who stand in need, is one of the greatest things we can do in life .
I believe I have many attributes that I could bring to your team, and I am hoping for the chance to excel in the future with you. As well as, the chance to continue to care for and to touch many more lives.
