United Cerebral Palsy

I became what I consider a caregiver because I love helping people in any way that I possibly can, and I love being a caregiver because I know I make a difference by providing care for those who need it, I currently work at a group home for those who suffer with Cerebral Palsy, and my greatest achievement is knowing that thanks to me my clients are safe and well nourished. I make a difference by the things I do such as bathing them, feeding them, walking them, doing active treatment with them, and by giving them meds. Accordingly. Ita been my dream to become a nurse, not really sure in what area yet but I know that caring for people like oI do makes me a better person and I feel really good about myself.

I've been caring for elderly and individuals with disabilities for 11 years I enjoy helping people, It's a great reward. I started out helping my Grandma when she was ill at times it wasn't easy but patience and compassion made everything worked. I then went on to working in group homes with individuals with disabilities that needed full assistant in daily living skills. I have 11 years of experience, once again I enjoy putting a smile on another's faces, helping and just being a companion.

I am a mother of two, in which my oldest child was born with Cerebral Palsy has since passed away. I never had any help caring for my son whom needed 24-hour care himself. After my son passed I knew I had so much to offer families with my knowledge & compassion I had for others. So I started working as an in home respite worker for United Cerebral Palsy working for families with children of many Special Needs. After years of working with children & young adults my own mother became very ill. I realized the struggles my own father was facing trying to find a trustworthy & compassionate person to care for my own mother as they now live in Florida away from family whom couldn't be there at all times. So I changed my position over to Senior & Elderly Care. Knowing first hand how much importance and need has to be given to families in this age group & are so of yet forgotten about and neglected. I'm a very compassionate caring person whom has had her own struggles with loved ones. I have found my greatest reward in life is being able to give back to families my knowledge and compassion for others so they can know there loved one is cared for as I would care for my own.

Becoming a caregiver fulfills my need to keep them safe and have someone there for them. Keeping a smile on my clients faces while I assist them at their own home. I am proud of working with people with all types of disabilities. I am a hard worker and a team player. I also enjoy a good challenge because when I succeed in overcoming it I feel very proud that I was able to accomplish it,

I am a reliable person you can count on.I am responsible caring and respectful. One of my best qualities is that I like to help others. If you were to ask people to use to words that best describe my character those two words would have to be giving and a very well liked person. I am very patient, honest and a good listener, having these qualities makes me a perfect caregiver.
