    I'am a patient, kind, caring knowledgeable Caregiver with 11 year's worth of experience.I'am a certified Medical Assistant (MA). The reason I've wanted to be a caregiver is because I believe that every person's life is valuable and deserves special care. What I enjoy the most about being a caregiver is that I can help others live a quality life. My most personal achievement that I'am proud of is finishing school to become a Medical Assistant.

    I have always worked In the medical Field since I was out of high school. I have experience in resolving unpaid medical bills since one of my previous jobs was just doing that. Another job I had was working with an eye specialist so I do know about glasses, contacts, optics, etc. I always get the best prices for my family and friends. My mom has diabetes so I always try to make sure she eats right. In fact I had taken nutrition classes just for her. I take ungoing courses because I enjoy learning about health.
