Sammie C.

Certified Medical Assistant and I love working with elderly of all ages because to me it's like spending time with my grandma and grandpa. I am very responsible, honest, and reliable and can multitask. I have worked with elderlys my whole life and volunteered at senior centers and homes. As a hobby i do many different recreational activities and field trips with all seniors. I have been working with CareLinx 5+ years and Respite Care for 5+ years as a Care Provider for a year with Bakerfield PACE and also worked with Adults with Autism. I am up to any challenge that has to do with the health and major problems of any elderly to better their life style and living situation. I am bilingual in Spanish and I manage to take great care of any senior involving any task. I am always up for anything and love to make people happy and smile.

My name is Jovita Okeydike from Nigeria (West Africa) living in Bakersfield, C; USA. I am a wife and mother of five children, and I have been a CNA for more than five years. I have many experiences on how to care for patients both the young and the elderly. I acquired my experiences by working in the nursing home, county hospital, (KMC) home health care and private hospital.(Memorial Hospital) Academically, I have finished my prerequisite class for nursing program, hoping to be a registered nurse in the next two to three years by God's grace. I am a christian who believes in human kindness no matter the person, because every one created by God needs love, kindness, and care. I believe that man is not an Island, at some point in life we need others help, care, and love either from relatives or strangers. My family value of honesty and truthfulness cannot be compromised. Until one becomes sick or have love one that is sick or elderly, the person will not appreciate the work of care givers and health workers. Before I became a CNA, I took care of my father at his old age (90 years), the challenges of taking care of him were motivating factors to be a care giver and health worker.
