Specializing in 1 Hour Visits: Serving Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Nokomis, East Bradenton, Florida

Certified Nursing Assistant

It takes a very special kind of person to work as a CNA.  Qualifications include compassion, caring, thoughtfulness, patience, organization, honesty, strong body, and of course a love of people.  I became a CNA when I was 21 years old.  I had no idea how rewarding this job could be.  I worked in a large hospital, a nursing home and a pediatrician’s office, all within the first year after I became certified, and yes, all at the same time.  Each setting had it’s own benefits.  The hospital was exciting.  Every shift I was sent to a different part of the hospital, so I saw everything from gunshot wounds to breast augmentation.  The nursing home was hard physical work but it was such a blessing to be around the elderly and all of their wisdom.  I have many sweet memories of working there and once in a great while, I drive by the facility with my husband and tell him a few stories.  The pediatrician’s office was great.  Babies and kids are wonderful.  Rarely did I see anything serious.  I encourage anyone with a heart for people to challenge themselves to become a Certified Nursing Assistant.  The field can always use a good one!

I offer one-hour visits in your home or facility from once or up to 5 days per week.
