SUMMARY
Personable and responsible Medication Technician/Resident Aide with vast experience and knowledge in performing in-home care tasks for memory care patients, the elderly and hospice patients. Possess a wide range of medical care skills applicable to positions in public and private healthcare environments. Licensed and fully trained in administering medications to patients and maintaining related medical records under the supervision of delegated nurse on duty. I always aim to leave my mark which is always a positive one wherever I go. Taking care of the elderly is rewarding for me as it makes my entire day when a resident/patient says to me “you are such a wonderful human being, “thank you for being so kind to me”, “I’ll dance at your wedding” and the list goes on. I take pride in what I do as I aspire to grow in the healthcare sector.
