According to all my past employers I am very caring, patient, and very empathic, especially when it comes to helping residents. I believe I gathered those traits and what really attracted me to this field, is from being around and taking care of my grandparents who both have had a heart surgery, and diabetes and my Grandpa, who is an amputee, and has kidney failure and then my Grandma, who has Parkinson and Alzheimer's disease. I really enjoy seeing a smile on peoples faces and making them have a better day. An achievement that I am proud of is getting my STNA license and CPR certified by the age 16 through my high school and taking an EMT, and Phlebotomy course as well.
