-PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY AND JOB OBJECTIVE-
Professional with extensive history (over 10 years) in both retail and restaurant management. My compassion for others lead me to become a Certified Nurses Aid. I’ve immensely enjoyed working with the elderly population as a CNA but the birth of my grandson brought me to California at which time I became a full-time child care provider - from infant through toddler years. Now that he’s in school I’m seeking full-time employment within a company with room for advancement.
-PERSONAL STRENGTHS-
Extensive management history in both the retail and restaurant industry
Excellent customer service skills
Success even under high-stress and high-volume
Highly organized and detail oriented
Enjoy working with the elderly population and children
