About Nikki

Mother of 2 beautiful children, I know how important family is and how important it is to LISTEN and RESPECT the expectations one has for the care their loved one is receiving! I would like to describe myself as a dedicated, nurturing, understanding, enthusiastic, resourceful worker. I promise that I am dedicated to establishing a trusting relationship with those so dear to you-learning, understanding and respecting everything about your family and loved one, beliefs, life journeys and experiences! I really enjoy listening to music it is definitely part of who I am and I believe is very healing and therapeutic and I really enjoy going through photo albums (especially old photos!) and hearing the stories about the memories they hold. Your priorities are MY priorities and we will meet challenges head-on together! I am currently working as Hemodialysis PCT. Previous experience as a Licensed Medication Technician in addition, I am a Licensed Phlebotomist with a VERY gentle hand, extensive training and hands-on experience in venipuncture, capillary puncture, and special collection techniques, which means I can do in- home labs so that your loved one can be comfortable in their own home. Certified in CPR, AED and Basic First Aid. As of 3/30/2021 I AM FULLY VACCINATED FOR COVID-19

I believe in lifting one another up when trials and tribulations arrives, because you just will never know that you will be the on sent by our God to uplift your brother or sister up in that very present time ! I have been in the medical field for 15 years now, I knew when I was a little girl I would in some way help people out. I use to take up for the disable kids while in school and I use to help the elders with taking their grocery bags in the house , help them walk if they had diffculty walking and etc . I enjoy putting a smile on the patient's face and I enjoy listing to their stories when they were growing up if they are able to talk with me ! I am very proud to have accomplish medical school and working in a field that care for people !
