Accomplishments
I'm an American citizen who immigrated from Russia in 1990 and that is why I'm by lingual. Also, I got my driver license in 3 months which is a proof of that I'm a fast learner. Since then, I have been a good driver with 35 years of good records and experience. Moreover, I raised 3 wonderful children on my own for the last 19 years. During which I tried a few of different jobs. I was a cashier, sale assistant, real estate agent, uber and lyft driver and of course caregiver for over 10 years. One thing, I can tell you about all jobs and my bosses, they all always could take me back. I put my heart in what I'm doing because I believe in doing good deeds is very important and I'm perfectionist. Therefore, I'm kind of workaholic. There is always something I can do. Nonetheless, I still want to achieve and learn more and try other things in life.
