I am a hard working CNA I come to work to get the job done and to take loving care of my residents and their families. I have a lot of empathy for the ones I take care of and their families. The only reason I had left the jobs I was at prior was to take care of my three adorable daughters. I am now ready to get back into work life! I actually am very excited about! I am one of those people who take pride in what I do and love my job and the people I work with! Great at working with others- Teamwork I am also very good at working alone and can work under pressure. Very enjoyable to work with. I have a great work place attitude, strong work ethic. Communication skills are a must.. if we don't have communication with others then nothing will get done properly.
