Carrie Bridges
Midland
Summary
Hello, my name is Carrie Elizabeth. I am a thirty year old female passionate about finding a job that brings me joy. I would describe myself as patient, hard working, loving and calm. I am very passionate about the medical field and carry my CPR certification as well as have previously held a state certification for my nurse assistant license. I have previously been in college and take great pride in teaching and learning more about education. My GPA is a 4.0 and I enjoy online school and learning. I have previously worked as a nurse aide at Mission Children’s Hospital in Asheville as well as in the PICU. I absolutely love children and have taught preschool for eight years. As someone who is very approachable, kind and attentive, I believe an additional job in healthcare or early childhood education would be a wonderful fit. I am focused on tasks given to me and believe I am also able to handle emergencies with great attention. I am blessed to be a mother of two and my experience with nurture and patience has only grown as they have. I have some experience with medically complex/special needs children and have had experience working alongside children with autism as well. I enjoy music and play violin, viola and some songs on the piano. I have experience with the elderly in two different nursing home locations as well as experience in pediatrics, hospital settings, schools, retail and food. I am always ready to learn new things and receive education wherever it is available. I’d love to receive a call and I appreciate you taking the time to read through my resume.
