John Estrada

I am a compassionate and dependable healthcare-focused professional with experience supporting residents in a nursing home setting. I have assisted with activities of daily living, provided companionship, and supported resident care under direct supervision while maintaining respect, patience, and professionalism. I am currently working toward obtaining my EMT certification, which is helping me strengthen my knowledge of patient assessment, emergency care, and clinical communication.

I value building meaningful connections with patients and residents and creating a safe, supportive environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. I am eager to continue expanding my hands-on healthcare experience as I work toward a career in nursing.
