Lakeland Florida has a community-focused environment. With numerous accessible lakes and parks, green spaces, and a small city center, it provides a perfect natural setting for an organic lifestyle. I have been involved with advocacies positions with my local neighborhood association, community center and local police department and have experienced the care Lakeland demonstrates towards their citizens.
With this I am approaching you to send you my resume, in this document you can find an explanation of my professional experience as an HHA and the respective certifications that I have obtained in this area. As HHA I understand that patience, compassion and empathy are necessary qualities to attend to the elderly in their needs. I have had experience helping the patient to maintain good personal hygiene (shower bath and bed bath), plan and prepare her meals and help her feed herself if necessary. I can also help with the use of a walker or wheelchair and with medications that they normally self-administer. In the different agencies that I have worked I have been taught to deal with basic infection control measures, observe, report and document the patient's condition.
My domain language is Spanish and I speak basic English.
