I have worked in the healthcare most of my life. I became a DSP around 2003-2004 I loved it so much that I went and got my CNA license nursing homes for a few years. But then decided to take time off to take care of my children. Not realizing that I let my CNA license expire. So I went back to the thing that I love my DSP job at Glenbrook in Vienna , where I knew and loved everyone there. But I decided to dip my hand into the cooking career got my certifications and have been doing that ever since. I am energetic and hard-working. I put my everything into what I do and their isn't anything that I can't accomplish when I put my mind to it .

I hope to be a member of your team soon . Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Hello my name is Alexis, I do prefer to be called Lex. A few of my personality traits are personable, ambitious, thoughtful, selfless, dedicated. I wanted to become a care giver after caring for my grandmother who has dementia and my mother after she broke her ankle and became non weight bearing. I was told by family that I was very good and a natural and should become a nurse, but I'd much rather do more of the same as I did with my mom and grandmother.

I'm a well experienced and open minded opertunist seeking to share the only sensation compatible with the mutual feeling of equality, and that is the rare occurrence of genuine compassion with absence of sympathy. My most prized achievement's lie within my impressions.

I started working in the healthcare field July 2008 as a CDS (consumer directed service) worker 2008 - 2010 caring for my mom. I received my CNA license in 2013. I am now certified in Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennesse as a CNA. I'm CPR/First Aide certified for adults, infant, and children, Level 1 Medication Aide certified, and Narcan certified. In my sixteen years of working in the healthcare field I have worked as an Care Support, CNA/CMA, Patient Care Technician, Support Staff, Personal Care Assistant, and CDS worker caring from infants to adults. I love giving that extra hand to help those in need and I love what I do.

I have 8 years of Geriatric Care in Nursing homes, Assisted living facilities and in home care. I enjoy helping others and will continue my education to become a nurse practitioner and be able to provide health care to various ages of life through my career.

I am caring, understanding, outgoing, social, and I like to make things fun! I also have a lot of experience in being a caregiver, as I was my mother's caregiver for many years. I love being able to have a close or one on one relationship with the ones I care for. My first personal goal I achieved is receiving my CNA license.
