Summary

I am an enthusiastic individual with an outgoing personality, great communication skills, and a passion for caring for others. These attributes have been developed at work as well as through my work. I am self-motivated and methodical, dedicated to providing a high standard of personal care to residents. As reported by supervisors both in my work environment and work experience I have proved to have an ability to meet the care needs of resident clients in a manner that respects their dignity and promotes their independence. Using my initiative I have a proven capacity to develop effective solutions to difficulties I might encounter. I am proud to say that I have an active and dynamic approach to work and I take great pride in learning from more experienced staff effective nursing aid skills that contribute to this work ethic. Reasonably comply with health and safety instructions and to reasonable care of their mental health. Take reasonable care that their actions do not adversely affect the health and safety of other people.
