About Brenda

- I became a caregiver because of my passion for helping people. - I truly enjoy interacting with family members, taking care of residents, providing support and comfort for those without family, assisting residents with their personal goals, and creating a "home" experience away from home. I also like dressing my residents and enhancing their appearance to increase self-confidence. - I am proud that I have received training/certifications, to enhance medical services provided, in wound care, patient restraints, phlebotomy, electrocardiograms (EKG), medical terminology, occult blood testing, oxygen therapy, and blood glucose. - I am a strong minded, creative, energetic, team player with a WINNING ATTITUDE. I am a creative, proactive, energetic, team player with strong organizational, time management, and impersonal skills.

Prompt, devoted, and trustworthy Certified Nursing Assistant II with 25 years of experience in the medical field.
