SOMETHING ABOUT ME TO HELP WITH RESPONSES:

I WORKED IN A NURSING HOME FOR 20 PLUS YEARS AS A CERTIFIED NURSING ASSITANT (CNA) 

I AM A PEOPLE’S PERSON, I AM KIND, CARING

NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES: COMING ACROSS RUDE FAMILY MEMBERS OR BELIGERENT RESIDENCE BUT THIS IS DUE TO THEIR AGE

Hello, I am a student at Ashford University completing my bachelor’s degree in early childhood education. I am applying to the 5th grade education teacher. For the past 20 plus years, I have worked at the same nursing home as a CNA, which is a Certified Nursing Assistant. There, I work with the elderly population and assist them with a variety of care; such as, feeding, grooming, taking vital signs, and building a relaxing environment for both my residents and their families. I also have learned how to react in emergency situations and I know and understand the importance of building relationships with not only the person I am working with, but my colleagues and the families. I am CPR and First Aide certified. Several years ago, I worked at a local elementary school in their summer school program for 3 summers. I developed lesson plans and ideas for daily tasks, interacted with parents and informed them of the progress their child was making, and I coordinated with staff to evaluate curricular programs. This experience will go hand in hand with the position I am applying for because the experience and skills I use in my current and past positions are transferable.
