PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

I work well with many different types of individuals because I always attempt to put myself in their shoes. I have worked with children (mainly infants), the elderly, the mentally and physically disabled as well as others, and I always make life as comfortable and helpful as possible without attempting to take away their chance at a better quality of life. I know how lucky I am and do not ever want to take my ability to do for myself for granted. WORK HISTORY
