What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue as a CNA delivering compassionate, patient-centered care for geriatric and behavioral health patients. I want to work with an interdisciplinary team, support safety and documentation, and strengthen recovery through communication and crisis-ready care.

I’m a dedicated and compassionate Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with decades of experience caring for disabled and geriatric patients across skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, and home settings. I focus on delivering patient-centered care while supporting individuals with behavioral health needs.

I bring proven expertise in building strong rapport through therapeutic communication, conducting mental health assessments, and documenting patients’ mental and emotional states. I’m experienced with crisis intervention and de-escalation techniques, and I ensure residents’ safety during behavioral health crises.

I collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams—including physicians, nurses, therapists, and social workers—to develop and modify individualized care plans. I also step into leadership when needed, supervising CNAs, coordinating care, maintaining accurate documentation in compliance with HIPAA regulations, and staying current on emergency procedures and infection control.
