Hello My name is Lanetta. I was born and raised in Va. I have three children, one grandchild. I have been doing home care for 8 years. I was worked with a variety of clients, all ages and backgrounds. I like watching Netflix, reading, playing with my cat and trying recipes on Pinterest.

I am a very fun and bright individual who loves to care for others. As a child I was always ill and looked up the nurses and providers who cared for me, so in turn I found my calling. Being a caregiver takes passion and patience. And the ability to work in difficult situations. I have been a caregiver for close to 8 years and love everything about it. I have worked in all possible settings and with just as many different needs and care levels. Being a caregiver and working to become a nurse is what drives my in life todo better among other things.

excellent cook i can adapt to any diet,dedicated to give the best possible care,exceptional communication skill,patient and caring person,reliable care giver,very considerate to others.

Growing up in a family with an medical professional (my mom)I surely made up my mind that one day I would become a nurse. After watching my mom take care and aid the sick in her home, I knew I wanted to become more hands-on with patients. While still in high school, I helped my mother aid to the sick in our home, I helped with little jobs as needed around the house. Being surrounded on a daily basis by this kind of environment is what made me want to become a caregiver. After high school I attend the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff to become a RN. Although at the time my dream fell throw my fingers due to a car accident years down the line, a job fell into my lap at a home care/housing facility where I assisted the elderly in their home. I must say working there was very inspirational; not only did it open my eyes to the world, but it gave me the opportunity to help those who couldn't help themselves. This is what prompted me to further my education in caregiving by attending CNA school. I became a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) and started working at a nursing home/rehabilitation center. I quickly learned that CNA job are different - but it challenged me to push myself harder and give 100% at all times. Now, I'm in school (lose CNA due to not renewing them because of school and can show them) to become an LVN I'm starting to see myself finally reaching my goal and help those in need. But as of now, being a caregiver is such an honor - it's all about putting away your needs to assist others. Knowing that a smile on your face can bring joy and happiness to someone else is priceless. The moments when you can reflect back and see how you have helped someone is what caregiving is all about.

I became a caretaker because I have a heart of gold and am very patient. I will care for my patient as if they were my own family and will follow every order I am asked of. My long term goal is to become a nurse practitioner.

I became a caretaker, because I like the feeling it gives me, and the person I' m helping . I enjoy getting to know the person I'm taking care of and spending time with them.. I achieved my associates degree in medical specialties this helps me in understanding and helping the person I take care of. I am compassionate dedicated hard working and honest person, who believes in just because people get older doesn't mean they need less help. They may need more as I have found out taking care of my one clients who has had a stroke and a heart attack. Who has been my inspiration seeing her over coming so many obstacles and finding new ones she now has to over come, but still continues to move along. I attended college getting my associates degree because I found that no matter what job I held. I always found my self wanting to help others. I will be finishing my degree soon and getting my mna, so that someday in the future I can work my up to a hospital environment.

Caring for someone comes natural to me. My family has dealt with a great amount of illness. While helping to care for my loved ones I discovered a lot about myself. For one you must have compassion, and be patient. When I hear the word thank you for helping me, it makes me smile and gives me the satisfaction in knowing I have accomplished my goal. They are happy and thankful for the care i have given.

I became a caregiver due to passion I have on assisting others. I feel elderly as well as people whom aren't able to things on there own should have help regardless of there situation. I love to make others feel they are worth something and can make difference in the life.

I enjoy helping and caring for people who need help with there daily living. I love being around elderly and disabled helping them get the most out of there lives and providing them the necessary tools to give the best personal care they deserve. I am proud of the relationships I have built with my patients and the experience and education I have with this background. I am responsible dependable and caring and dedicated to my job and profession.

Dependable and reliabe. Can learn and be trained with ease. I enjoy helping others that need assistance.

Senior Care I am a compassionate, responsible and loving caregiver with many years of experience caring for the elderly. Not only did I provided 24 hour care for my mother, but I gave her the dignity and respect she deserved. I have my HHA, CPR and HIV certificates along with extensive training. As a caregiver, I can assist with bathing, using the restroom, preparing hot meals, feedings, companionship and activities. I am very well aware of the importance for the family to feel comfortable and highly depend on the caregiver.

My mother inspired me to become a caregiver/cna. She is an LPN and has showed me almost everything that I know. I have taken care of my grandmother for 6 years, from the ages of 12 to 18 until I no longer had the resources to give her the proper care that she needed. I also assisted my grandfather for 3 years who unfortunately lost his battle to lung cancer. I love being a caregiver because I enjoy helping others when they can no longer do for themselves. I know that eventually I will need help with daily activities once I become of age, and knowing that I am helping others and relieving their stress and pain is what I live for every day. I am proud to say that I am taking the next step in my career by attending school to become an RN. I have a year and a half left until I graduate. It is not easy but it is so exciting, to know that I am being given up-to-date information and resources to further help those that are sick, injured, and hurt. I am 20 years old with a beautiful baby boy. He is my motivation in life and I want to be that role model that he can look up to, the same way my mother inspired me. I maintain a 3.5 GPA in my nursing program. I am a very reliable, trustworthy, hard-working, patient, and understanding person. I have not run a background check, but I do have my fingerprint clearance card that confirms that I have a clean background, CPR/First Aid, BLS certification, and TB test.

I am honest, caring and hard working, I don't think of my clients as clients, I think of them like family. I try my hardest to make each and every day that I work at least a tiny bit better for my clients, because they deal with so much everyday, whether it be medical issues do emotional diagnoses, or physical. In any case, days are hard and I am here to help. I will always go above and beyond my call of duty, need extra cleaning, done! No problem, I am your caregiver. I have two children of my own, my son Jadon is 6, and my daughter Addison is 3. They are my world. I am dependable and willing to take on difficult tasks. I get along with just about everyone and I will strive for the best results.
