I'm a Certified Personal Care Assistant non smoker. I have been taking care of patients for the past 8 years. This experience has been amazing for me and I love what I do unconditionally. After helping take care of family members I knew I found what I love. My grandpa was a Doctor in world war 2 and my grandma was a nurse for world war 2 also. I enjoy helping people because I like to be the reason for their smile. I love to know I made somebody's day. I'm proud that I could give people a chance to want to keep pushing forward. I'm 20 years old with some experience in Medical terminology at Bryant and Stratton College. I come from a big family with a lot of us being in the medical field. I've learned so much about so many people it's beautiful. All my patients and families I've worked with have been amazing to me. I love my job more than anything in the world. I consider my job a blessing. I also assist with housekeeping, bathing, dressing, shopping, giving medication, meal prepping and mobility. I have experience in rehabilitation, physical therapy assistant, changing Colostomy bag, empty a Catheter bag, dealing with ALS, MS, Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, Alzheimer's, Dementia, and many others issues a client has. long term care for children and adults, mentally challenged or physically challenged.
