Experience: 5 yrs
I am a compassionate, caring, and dependable healthcare professional, who worked full-time in a hospital. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with Basic Life Support (BLS) certification and a genuine passion for helping others. I have hands-on experience providing personal care, companionship, mobility assistance, and support with daily living activities. I have worked with individuals with different care needs, always ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, respected, and supported. My hospital experience has taught me to remain calm under pressure, pay attention to detail, and treat everyone with patience, kindness, dignity, and respect. I am available for part-time and weekend opportunities. Families can trust me to be reliable, attentive, and compassionate. To me, caregiving is more than just a job. It is about making a positive difference in someone's life and treating them like family.
Akhona is exceptional, the care she provided to my wife, I can't express my gratitude enough. Her dedication and professionalism positively significantly impacted my wife's life. Her attention to detail, empathy, and commitment to her work did not go unnoticed. She cared for my wife with grace and compassion. The trust I had in her when she looked after my wife allowed me to breathe easier, knowing she is receiving the highest standard of care possible. My wife said Akhona made her feel safe and always had a way of making her smile. She was well prepared and compassionate. She was courteous, helpful, and thorough in addressing my wife's concerns and needs. Akhona has excellent communication skills and is dedicated to her work. Anyone would be lucky to hire her as a caregiver. In short, Akhona is beyond wonderful.
