Thelma O. Care Companion in Cleveland, OH 44115

I love being a caregiver because it gives me the opportunity to serve others in a meaningful way. I’ve always believed in the importance of compassion, patience, and dignity—especially when someone is going through a vulnerable time. Supporting others and making them feel safe, seen, and valued brings me genuine fulfillment.

I currently work as a CNA at Cleveland Clinic, where I provide hands-on care to patients with a wide range of medical needs. In this role, I’ve gained valuable experience assisting with daily living activities, vital sign monitoring, mobility support, and patient comfort. I’m also a nursing student at Cleveland State University, with clinical experience in medical-surgical settings. In addition, I’ve volunteered in senior care programs, providing companionship, meal prep, and medication reminders.

As a CNA at Cleveland Clinic and a nursing student, I’m trained in patient safety, infection control, therapeutic communication, and emergency response. I have experience with respiratory and GI care, wound care, and proper body mechanics. I’m also CPR certified and comfortable working in fast-paced environments where teamwork and attention to detail are essential.
