About Gwenda

1. As I was raised by my grandmother when I was younger, naturally, I get along amiably with older adults in my present profession. In serving them, I know that my grandmother would be proud of me. Most of all, I enjoy the friendship of each resident, as well as they enjoy mine. It has always been a fulfilling experience to work as a caregiver. 2. My favorite part is building trusting relationships among residents, co-workers, supervisors, visitors, etc. 3. No matter what the challenge or experience, I have my passion for health-care to offer knowing that I'm helping to empower a community. 4. I have had four years of experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant. I work exceptionally well in the area of geriatrics, having cared for residents in independent living, assisted living, and hospice. To further expand my experience in healthcare, I am beginning my enrollment at St. Catherine University this fall 2014 pursuing the Dual Degree Nursing Program.

    My Name is Mary Kamara a cheerful and loving care giver. I have been in this profession since 2007. Am also a mother of three grownup kids and my middle kid an active marine who has served for 12 years now. He liked the way I did my job, go to school and take care of my home with my mom and grand baby. Am now taking a break from school after gtraduating in 2019. I like care giving especially to our seniors because they have served us when they were young and now is the time for us to serve them. I like shearing with them old stories of their past and important dates in their lives they never forget to celebrate. I am also a good listener and compassionate caregiver who goes an extra mile to make sure my job is done well. I am punctual and dependable. I love when i give care and my patient says thank you. I really appreciate that. Am a loved care giver, most of my patients love me and want only me to be visiting them to give cares always after they have known me. I have gone to school to be a Trained Medication Aide and also a Medical Assistant, but came back to do care giving because I love and appreciate the care giving job because I meet one on one with different people for the longest of time than the other jobs. I enjoy my job with my beautiful smiles, nothing brings me down when am working and I can handle stressful work when the days are not favorable.
