my name is kayla I've been a certified nursing assistant for 6 years now I am a mother of 4 little boys that I adore! I originally became a cna to keep my auntie home when she was in stage 3 terminal pancreatic cancer she passed away in 2009 and I've been cna certified ever since . I love being a cna because you touch people's lives on a daily basis it's a very rewarding job my life goal is to eventually become a occupational therapist and work with children in the future. I have experience in long term, respite, alzheimer and rehabilitation care . Dementia unit experience for 3 years and customer service training . I am currently car and first aid certified.

I have been a caregiver for 5+ years and I have worked in multiple health care fields with all different types of health issues. I have yet to run into something that I could not handle. Being a nurses assistant is what I do, I have thought about furthering my education multiple times but I keep coming down to the decision that I would not get that one on one time like I do now with my patients/residents. I am very proud of where this career as taken me and how my job makes me feel knowing I put a smile on someone's face and I was the person who was there for them when they didn't have someone to talk to. I am a very outgoing individual and I love to have fun with my co-workers and residents/patients. Everyday I go to work my number 1 goal is to make sure every single person I come in contact with get the best service I could provide with my experience and if I can not answer a question for them then I direct them where to go and also get educated on the answer myself for next time.

I wanted to become a caregiver because I helped with my grandpa before he passed and it made me want to help others. I Love helping others and to see the smile that it put's on their face as well as mine. A personal achievement that I am proud of is getting my CNA Licenses. I am a full-time wife and mother of two, I currently passed my state test in November of 2014 and got my CNA Licenses and love to help others because it makes me feel good to help others.

As a caregiver, my strengths lie in empathy, patience, attentiveness, and reliability. I can provide detailed information on various health conditions, caregiving strategies, and emotional support. Additionally, I can offer tailored advice on nutrition, exercise, and mental well-being, and I'm always ready to listen and provide support. My goal is to assist in making informed decisions and to help navigate the complexities of caregiving with compassion and understanding. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is getting to know my clients, and doing different activities with them.my personal achievement was graduating high school in 2016, and passing my Cna class in 2022.

I have been a cna since 1997.I treat people the way I would want someone to treat me or a member of my family.
