As a dedicated RN and CNA, I bring a wealth of experience and compassion to my role as a caregiver for individuals with special developmental and medical needs. My journey in healthcare is deeply personal; having cared for family members, I understand the unique challenges that arise in these situations. This personal experience, combined with many years of paid experience in various medical settings, has equipped me with the skills necessary to provide exceptional care. I hold certifications in CPR, BLS, and ACLS, ensuring that I am prepared to respond effectively to emergencies. My academic background includes a minor in Human Development and Family Sciences, which has enriched my understanding of the emotional and developmental aspects of care.
