Des Moines Nursing Assistants

I've had experience with all ages and stages of life and have had the opportunity to work with children and elderly all of my life. I have attended college courses in the Health Occupations program at Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) and have gained valuable information that will help Me with any Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) positions available to me. I have worked as a Nanny/Babysitter for almost half my life and have acquired private and public customer service experience at my current work from January of 2019 to present as my current work. If You would consider Me, I would be very pleased to meet You and discuss how I might be able to help You and your Loved One. I am looking forward to meeting You. Thank You For Your Time!

PLEASE DISREGARD THIS PROFILE. I TRIED TO REMOVE IT BUT FOR SOME REASON, AM UNABLE TO DO SO. I AM NO LONGER OFFERING SENIOR SERVICES! I became a Certified Nursing Aid at 16 then an EMT at 18. I worked my way through college as both a nursing aide and an EMT progressing to a Paramedic. I worked in home health care, and human services after college although retaining my licenses. When I decided to return to work after raising my kids I went to nursing school. I did not complete nursing school due to complications with H1N1 FLU, although I did become a certified medication manager. I am now at a point where I enjoy working with people one on one, rather than in an institutional environment. It's much more rewarding. Love seniors. Senior caregiver.

I have a passion for caring for older adults. I have been in this profession for 3 years and I love it. Hearing their stories and being able to connect with my residents makes a big part of my life. When I care for my residents, I treat them like they are my own grandparents.

I am currently a CNA for 10 years. I have experience in Nursing homes, Assistant Living, In-home care, Hospice, and Memory care. I take care of all the patient's need. I am also a Certified Medications Aid, I enjoy taking care of someone and helping someone who is in need of care. I enjoy spending time with them.

Hi my name is Vanya and I'm in my last 2 weeks of nursing school here at Mercy College of Health Sciences. I've been working as a Patient Care Technician for over 3 years now at Mercy Hospital And an additional year as a CNA in a locked Dementia/Alzheimer's unit. I am both CPR/BLS/first aid/first responder certified along with mandatory reporter certified for child and dependent adult abuse. I love taking care of people and kids, that has been a lifetime passion of mine. I enjoy what I do and love making work fun. I love outdoor activities, cooking/baking, arts and crafts and being relational. I can't wait to work with your loved ones.

Caring for my grandfather was what sparked my interest in becoming a nurse. I enjoyed being able to provide help in any way that I could. Whether it was helping him up and over to the bathroom, preparing his meals, or even just being able to sit and talk with him. Now, being half way through nursing school, I have gained lots of experience caring for elderly patients and I have truly enjoyed the time I get to spend with each of the patients I have assisted.

I have enjoyed being a stay at home mom & caring for my children the past 7 years, but before that I worked for a wonderful small, privately owned senior care company that was owned by a nurse. I cared for a married couple in their home here in Des Moines. I helped support them as they had to endure a house fire, where they lost everything except their lives. Thankfully, they purchased a nicer home, but it was a very hard transition for them. The husband passed away during the year that I worked for them. It was not an easy job & I also helped them care for their dogs that made a mess of the home. I helped get them to appointments, go grocery shopping, do light housework & light cooking. My wonderful boss sadly passed away of a massive heart attack just a couple years ago. His company was called, COMFORTS OF HOME. His wife will be happy to give me a great recommendation. :-) Before that job, I worked with an elderly lady with dementia part-time.

Spent time volunteering and working at a nursing home, as well as care taking a woman with Alzheimer's. She was mild mannered and quiet but really enjoyed doing puzzles, crafts and cooking! I have a great experience with pets, and even have two cats and a St. Bernard at home. I have taken CPR training courses in the past and have always enjoyed my time helping out. I'm dedicated and very empathic when it comes to taking care of your loved ones! I take classes at DMACC on Tuesday and Thursdays and am working towards a nursing degree!
