*****************@***********.***
I take my job seriously. I treat my clients like I would my own children. Nothing feels better, like giving life back or helping those remember what life was all about. People tend to forget that those who are elder or diagnosed with a terminal disease once lived and have stories. They only see the end. I want to be that person to bring back the memories. So they can relive or just never forget what makes them feel good.

I was a pre kindergarten twacher assistant, also known as a certified paraproffesional, in which I scored way above average in my state of qualifying. I was honored to begin that career in a known low level class of students that I believe walked away with a higher level of education. I was defined as a very talented and respected teacher and mentor to those children. VPK Credentials

CNA
May 2021 to May 2024
I began this certified journey in 2018 by the qualifications of the state of Florida. I have been experienced and started working in this field since 2015. I enjoy the fact that I can give people the best experience of living with assistant help that nobody ever wants to need. I don't make it feel like help, I make it feel like a party. We all loved being a teenager who had friends over for a sleepover. I make it happen and I know it's not always a fun experience but it's just another day. I don't hold judgement and I walk into the room with arms wide open. I except the good days and the van. I learn about the person and try my best to be there in all situations. I am who I want them to count on. BLS Certification
