Self Employed

(LNAs number on AZ State Board of Nursing available.)I decided to become an LNA when I saw that needs that were not being addressed compassionately, with respect and dignity, in much of the population. I enjoy working for the diverse people that I am able to interact with. Knowing I am helping clients keep their independence as long as possible, helping the rehabilitation of a person post surgery, or allowing a family much needed respite time makes being a LNA a wonderful career choice for me. I feel that people should be able to rely on the LNA they have hired. Personal care, the ability to be compassionate with attention to detail, and the humanity of serving with an open heart count to me. I enjoy helping with range of motion, and keeping the mind of the patient occupied by music therapy, reading, playing cards, or even walks around the neighborhood. Helping a person stay true to who they are (and were) is a wonderful feeling. Allowing them to be as independent as they can be, yet filling the gap with help is important to me. I am most proud of care giving when I think of the warm smiles I have gotten with a simple 'thank you' after helping a Parkinson's client learn new ways to keep fluid motion while walking as best possible, or helping a family attain 'specialized utensils' to help another client scoop food, allowing more comfort while eating. I have been employed with State agencies as well as the school district.

I like taking care of people. Have done it over 30 years. I think they need to be treated like Kings and Queens as my grandmother would say. I have three children my son is a machinest and my two daughters are nurses. So you might say it runs in the family. When you have taken care of someone and they have that smile on their face or in their eyes it is such a wonderful feeling that you have done something right.

I was working in a store, when I was asked by a friend if I would like to take care of a gentleman in his home. I did, and became very good at my job. I used to work in a nursing home, but found that there was never enough help. I did not want to quit, but it was very frustrating trying to take care of ten to twelve people by yourself. The resident is the one who suffered because of this. But I felt I had no choice, because I had to physically take care of myself, before I could take care of someone else. So since then I have been doing private care. It is a good paying job, but it is most rewarding. This type of job is not for everyone, of course, but if it is for you, there is nothing like going to a job that is considered to be a privilage to be a blessing to someone else.

Hello there! I am a very honest, energetic, and caring person. As a previous teacher, I have gained valuable experience caring and helping for others. It bring me joy seeing the smile on people's faces as I am helping them. Throughout college, I worked as a caregiver for a few elderly woman and loved being able to help them with their day-to-day lives. As their caregiver, I helped them with house cleaning, cooking, running errands, help with medication, and bringing them to various appointments. A little more about me: I love doing puzzles, playing card games, going for walks, and baking! I look forward to your inquiry!

I am 54 years old and I am a skilled caregiver with experience in Alzheimer/Dementia care. I assist residents with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, transferring, and meal preparation according to the individual care plan.

I'm a CNA of 25 years. I've been a caregiver throughout my career through recommendation. I enjoy taking care of people that is my passion ever since I was 15 my first job in a nursing home as an activity aid! Being a mother is my personal achievement that I'm proud of!
