Hi my name is Ruthy I'm from the Philippines and I've been working as a CNA for 9 years, my first job was in a nursing home for 5 years I love my job because I like to help people especially elderly it reminds me of my grandparents. When I was in a nursing home I worked or experienced a lot of cases like people that has any stage of Alzheimer's, Dementia, Parkinson, multiple sclerosis, stroke and more.

Am knowledgeable about human relation which stems from my education in sociology as an applied course during my university education. Am a compassionate nurse with a very caring personality. What attracted me to being a care giver is that my mother was a nurse and I love how she cared for people. I took care of my aged grandma & my mum before they passed. I also took care of an aunt's physically challenged daughter for 4 years. All these and more helped develope my interest in the caring profession. I derive a very profound job satisfaction by offering a helping hand to those who cannot help themselves. Appreciation, gratitude & recommendations as always exhibit by my private and corporate employers have been my greatest achievement & my pride in this field.

Given a hand in any situation is a plus for me it makes me feel good as a daughter, mother, family members and wife I started out as a single Mothers over 20 years and I was encouraged to attend the nursing assistant course due to my personality and I never looked back, I also worked in Transportation for Pace paratransit and I encouraged and helped most of my clients to sign up for the services.
