Susan Hirsi
Seattle,WA
Summary
My name is Susan Hirsi, and I was born in Somalia and raised in Seattle. Growing up in two cultures taught me the importance of community, kindness, and helping others. Over the years, I’ve gained experience in childcare, tutoring, retail, and healthcare. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant, and I bring strong CNA skills such as vital signs, patient care, ADLs, and infection control. I’m a hardworking, patient, and reliable person who communicates well with families and coworkers. I care deeply about the people I serve and always bring compassion and professionalism into everything I do.
