Hi there! My name is Nina Smith and I am 22 years old and a recent college graduate from Loyola University in Chicago. I graduated with an exercise physiology degree from the Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing. I am a very happy, kind, positive, caring and upbeat person with great communication skills and time management. With this being said, I would love to bring these personality traits to a family and care for their loved one(s)! What attracted me to being a caregiver is my experience in a clinical setting. I have worked in physical therapy offices, dental offices, and a senior living facility. Through my experience, I have learned that I am very passionate about caring for people and getting to know individuals on a personal level. My favorite part about being a caregiver is having the opportunity to build a relationship with not just one person, but an entire family and relieve some of the stress on family members, assuring them that their loved one(s) are properly cared for. I am a very outgoing person and it would be an honor to get to know your family and help in anyway I can!

I always ensure that I get a job done, I learn very quickly and adjust to how things are done. I am very creative and interactive which describe my leadership and team working capabilities. I am reliable, dependable and hard working. I have experience and training. I am good with people and willing to learn and try new things. I love working with people and helping to fulfill their potential. I have great people skills and I have great customer service skills. I have years of experience in the open position. I'm a leader. I take charge of any situation but also allow others to shine. I'm very neat, organized and reliable. To get the job done you can depend on me. I'm a quick learner I always have a positive attitude and I'm very content at everything I do. Assisted with bathing, personal hygiene, and dressing of patients.
