Carillon Assisted Living

My personality traits is that I'm very extraversion , I'm a great listener. Patience , encouragement & companionships is what helped me be a great caregiver. Helping others and just having an impact on their lives and helping their voices be heard attracted me to being a caregiver . My personal achievement that I'm proud of is just being the one the trust & making them as happy as I can be and helping them in anyway ..

My name is Helena Petty. I've been care giving for over 8years. I'm very dependable, caring.

Caregiving has been a part of who I am as a person, even before I knew caring was a profession. Having been raised by elderly grandparents, I know the importance of family. I've personally been on both sides of caring. As a client and a caregiver, of palliative care. Compassion for others would be my biggest driving force. Haven completed over 100 clinical hours of asl, skilled care, in various healthcare settings under trained RN's and accredited doctors, I am knowledgeable in my abilities to provide exceptional care and great customer service care to family members.

I am a compassionate, patient, and skilled professional with a passion for providing high-quality care to seniors. Having honed my skills through years of experience in healthcare settings, I am adept at meeting the unique needs of seniors and enhancing their quality of life. I possess a keen understanding of common age-related conditions and have trained extensively in administering medications, providing personal care, and coordinating with medical professionals for continued care. My strong interpersonal skills make me a comforting presence, and I have a knack for engaging seniors in stimulating and enjoyable activities that boost their mental well-being. What I love about being a senior caregiver is the opportunity it gives me to make a real difference in the lives of those I care for. I treasure the chance to learn from seniors' rich life experiences and wisdom, and to provide them with the respect, care, and companionship they deserve.

I have experience working with Alzheimer's and dementia patients ! and a strong believer of meeting them where they are and not where Society wants them to be! Im patient kind and love what i do.

Whta helps me be a good caregiver is the love that I have for my elders.

As long as I can remember, I have tried to help anyone in need. I think it's a true part of who I am. I have a compassionate heart and I care what others are feeling, needing and saying. I am passionate about people and their needs. I began as a babysitter when I was 14 years old. I am a mother of 6 children, three of which had special needs. In my early 30 s I began to volunteer for a widows group, where I learnt so much about the loneliness and the need for help in their homes and medical needs. I have always gravitated towards children, the hurting and the elderly, as experience has taught me to sympathize as well as empathize with each individual as a whole and I don't mind saying I often fall in love with each person I care for. People tell me that caring for others is just a job. To me, it's a life style. A true need, a necessity in a world that seems so cold. Caring for those that can not always help themselves, gives me a feeling of accomplishment and drives me to want to do more.

I am compassionate about the ones I take care of. Making a difference in someone's life. Getting to know my residents on a personal level and spending time with them. I am about to graduate from UMA and earn my degree in Health and Human Services.

I have worked in health care for over 20 years holding different job titles as well as working my way up to management. I chose health care because helping people always made me happy. I am the type of person that automatically tries to help someone I need, for the reward of seeing them smile or thrive to the best of their ability. My desire to help people had a great impact on moving up to a management position at a job I worked at for seven years.

I am a "caregiver" because I CARE enough , to GIVE my all. Your loved one will be in good hands with me ❤️.

I really love and enjoy helping and caring for others it really makes me feel great and makes my day to know I helped someone get through their day.
