Richetta B.

$20.00/hour · Suitland, MD

I enjoy working with people and I most enjoy jobs where I have one-on-one interaction with others. I enjoyed taking care of my elder family members and would like to help others in this way. I like older adults and feel I can get along well with a variety of elders. I like doing work that has the potential to make a difference in someone's life. I like doing a variety of tasks in a day. I don't ever say, "That's not my job" but instead like pitching in to do whatever is needed. I like making someone smile and doing little things to make a person's day better. I take pride in attending to detail.

$15.00/hour · College Park, MD

Hello My name is Ishe-ka Holley and I simply love what I do for a living, I found myself pursuing this occupation as a CNA after my father took sick for some time and then later years passed away. That experience gave me the heart to help people in need, I initially love assisting others from the very beginning but something about that experience pushed the love for helping others to be a big part of my heart! I am also a college student studying in the field of Healthcare Management, as you can see I love being involved in the healthcare industry.
