ZABLOCKI DEPT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

Housekeeping Aide

9/26/1999 - 9/2003

I was trained in every area except the kitchen/cafeteria. I cleaned sinks, toilets, floors, beds, inside windows, did dusting, cleaned carpets and furniture. I worked overtime on the floor care crews, stripping and waxing floors. I was the only female that drove the riding floor scrubbers, being careful to place “Wet Floor” signs in my wake and ensuring that I was not letting out too much water. I kept my hopper room stocked and clean on a daily basis. I helped train new employees, paying special attention to infection control and the avoidance of cross contamination. I took it upon myself to learn how to clean and remake beds between inpatients, a task that the other ward housekeepers would make incoming inpatients wait for a member of the Bedwashing Team to come to the ward. The nurses appreciated this added attention.

I received a “Superior Performance” award for going above the scope of my duties, regularly helping other housekeepers clean their areas before inspections.

When I started working in Housekeeping, I was placed on a floor where there hadn’t been a regular housekeeping for quite a while. As a results-oriented worker, I took delight in cleaning everything plus buffing the tile floors, washing walls, etc. The office workers and nurses actually called my supervisor and thanked him for placing me there.

Received loaner instrument sets from vendors, inspecting them for cleanliness and completeness. Prepared instrument sets according to inventory sheets. Typed inventory sheets for new sets.
