Assist residents with ADL's. Maintain a clean and safe environment for my residents. I always have a smile on my face for my residents and give them the respect, privacy, and dignity they deserve. I am there for them, to comfort them, reassure them. and to give them love. I love my work, I love my residents. There is no better reward than to see my residents smile, and for them to be happy. I did get into this line of work late in life. I received my first training and certification in 2003, at The Pines in Olean, NY. I worked there and then transferred to the Pines of Machias, NY. I worked there until 2006. I then had responsibilities I needed to address, children to care for. In 2014, I received my 2nd training and certification through Genesee Valley Partnership BOCES in Batavia, NY. I have been blessed with work at the County Nursing Home. We are in the transitioning of ownership. From County owned to private. Premiere Group has bought the facility and will be taking over fully, on or before December 31, 2016. I realize that this was asking for a description of duties, I perform as a CNA. I felt that I needed to add the reason for a gap as a CNA. As you can tell, I love my work. It really isn't work, as much as it is a love and passion, and commitment to serve the residents I care for.
