About Lisa

I became a caregiver/certified nursing assistant for the love of caring for patients/people, in need, in the medical field. It's very important to me to give my best to the well-being of those in need of health care. There are many facets to care: personal, emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual. I believe in care with dignity, honesty, and respect. Even the cleanliness of living space and good nutrition is vital to good health. I treat those in my care as if they were my own family member. I was a CHHA for 5 years before working nights in the ICU at DKH for 12.5 years. Following that employment, I am now working nights for the past 6 years with WBH in the telemetry unit. I am skilled not only in nursing care, but also in the ability to recognize significant changes in someone's health status that would be indicative of immediate medical attention. I am a CNA, updated in certification, as well as CPR certified. I look forward to meeting you and together assuring the best in care giving to your loved one.

I am a compassionate, caring and trustworthy person. I am a consummate professional with a great work ethic. I have elderly parents that receive care so I know the traits that I look for in a caregiver. I have always had the desire to help others. Helping others improve or maintain a good quality of life has always been fulfilling and satisfying. My greatest personal achievements have been graduating from college with honors, advancing in my career and taking care of my aging parents.

I became a caregiver because I like caring for people that can no longer care for themselves the way that they would like to, be it for health reasons or etc. I like knowing that I am making their lives easier and making them feel better about themselves, avoiding any insecurities about their limitations. A personal achievement that I am proud of is knowing that in such little time I made a difference to many of my patients...I worked for almost 2 years at a nursing home facility and they all asked me to stay because no one had taken care of them like I had and I see this as an achievement. About myself, I am 44 years old. I acquired my CNA license in 2014 and I love the field I am in. I am experienced in in-home care and Hospital ICU care. I am a very caring and dependable individual. I am bilingual in Spanish. I also have my CPR certificate that was recently acquired in 2015 and my Phlebotomist Certificate which I acquired in 2019.
