About Ivy

Growing up and having the opportunity to care for my grandparents opened my eyes to what every aging and sick loved one go through.Being a health caregiver for the six years now has given me a lot of experience to do what I have passion for. The smile on my patient or clients 's face each day is my driving motivation. A few months ago I worked into my client's house and perceived a strong smell of gas which apparently she did not smell, quickly took her out of the house and call the gas company and emergency technicians. A broken gas pipe was identified and the whole block of houses were deemed high risk for explosion. Residents were evacuated for four days. I not only saved my client's life but that of all her neighbors. I am a very professional, hardworking, and compassionate person.

    I have 4+ years of proven experience effectively and efficiently managing patients care. I am an extremely organized, calm, and patient professional with excellent healthcare skills. I have a passion for providing quality care to patients, and the necessary leadership skills to inspire other staff members to strive to provide above standard levels of service. In my present role as registered nurse at Northern Virginia mental Health Institute, I am tasked with evaluating the medical conditions of patients daily and developing and directing a rotational system to manage the care of patients and otherwise coordinate workforce management. During this time, I've been recognized as a dedicated, ambitious, and reliable person who has the ability to work without supervision. In addition, my four years of experience as a CNA at Westmister lake Ridge helped me realize and implement clinical duties I learned during the course of my education. While employed there, I was commended for proficiently handling difficult situations with patients and their family members. I feel confident that my experience will be extremely beneficial to you. I am ready to put my skills to work and would love to bring my passion as a care giver to your home.
