Upbeat and compassionate personality Hard-working, resourceful, eager to learn, team player Effective written and verbal communicator with strong interpersonal capabilities Thrive in environments requiring the ability to prioritize tasks and manage multiple responsibilities Capable of using computer Caring I have always wanted to be in healthcare and caregiving, but when my grandfather became sick and I cared for him in my own home that really showed me that this is what I wanted to do. I love that being a caregiver means that everyday you know you have done everything in your hands to help other people and make a difference. One personal experience that I am proud of was when employed in a nursing home. I had been caring for a sweet women who was at end of life and had the most amazing family. I had a special connection with this women and eventually the family. I went out of my way something others didn't do to make not only my patient but the family comfortable. When her final days came, the family went out of there way to show there appreciation and love towards me and my loving, caring self. I hear from this family often years later, with continuous thank you, and updates. I also am very proud to say I was accepted into nursing school for this fall, which I look forward to. I can't wait to further my education and knowledge to be able to better care for others lives.
