How Esther’s resume is built
Layout and order
Esther Mensah is a fictional sample written for the US, on US Letter. Bedside uses shaded section bars and a thin accent rule under the name, a calm layout that suits care work and keeps each section distinct. The summary names the people she cares for, older adults and people living with dementia, because agencies match aides to clients. Her state certification and CPR card each get a dated line in their own section, and the 75-hour training programme sits under education.
How the bullets are built
Families and agencies worry most about reliability and safety, so the bullets answer those worries. The first says what care she gives, for 4 regular clients a week. The second puts reliability in numbers: a 99% on-time record over 2024 across about 1,100 visits. The third shows judgement, reporting changes the same day, with two early hospital referrals credited by nurses. Her earlier job in a memory care unit keeps one line, 10 residents a shift, which supports the dementia experience claimed at the top. One page is plenty for this history.
Home health aide resume questions
What is the difference between an HHA and a PCA on a resume?
Use the title you held and the certification you have. If you trained as a home health aide, list the state certification and its date so an agency can verify it.
How do I show I am reliable?
Give an attendance or on-time figure if your agency tracks one, as the sample does. Long tenure with the same clients also shows it.
Should I mention languages or driving?
Yes, if you have them. Many agencies match aides by language, and a car widens the clients you can visit. Add them to the summary or a skills line.
