WILLIAM JAMES III
Fargo
Summary
I love to help people and I connect well with all types of people. I have been doing healthcare work for a little over 9 years now and have fallen in love with helping people that need it and promoting independence in any way I can. Integrity and compassion is a big part of what brings fulfillment to my life. Just the idea that I can help their lives when they need it is the most rewarding way to live my life. I love becoming a trusted friend in there lives. I have worked in Transitional Care, Memory Care and Long Term care, so I can physically and emotionally help anyone that needs it. I am very level headed and can stay calm under pressure.
