Araceli Garcia

I am a Dietary Aide for a Healthcare facility in Temecula California. My role on a daily basis working here is to keep all kitchen areas clean, tidy and free of hazards, serve meals to residents in accordance with established schedules and dietary procedures, assist in the preparation of nutritious meals for patients with various medical conditions and dietary restrictions, and wash plates, cups, eating utensils and kitchen equipment in commercial dishwasher. The environment in working as a diet aide is very strict and fast paced. I have to follow all food safety regulations including diets and food restrictions when preparing meals for patients. I have to manage my time wisely as there were certain times meals needed to be sent out. I help nurses and patients families with any questions they had with food related problems. I also coordinate with other dietary aides and kitchen staff to ensure efficient workflow and timely delivery of meals, contributing to a smooth-running operation.
