ALS Caregivers in Grand Valley - 7 caregivers found

With a Psychology degree, I am able to communicate effectively with both the client as well as the client's family members. I offer compassion and understanding to each individual's family. I have a strong personality and am able to encourage my clients to allow me to help them with the services that are best for them even when they are reluctant. I am able to help them maintain their dignity and independence while assisting them with their every day tasks. I became a caregiver in 2016 when my company lost it's grants. I evaluated what other avenues were available to me to share my years of counseling experiences. I decided that as a home health care aid, I could help both the client themselves and their families. I enjoy knowing that I have helped a number of people remain in their own homes with dignity and respect.

8 years as a caregiver

Enthusiastic LPN with excellent people skills and dedicated work ethic. Demonstrated medical competency

My patience to help people and also my compassion to be there for someone that need the extra help. I am my dependability and trustworthiness. Sometimes all it takes is someone to be there and understand what someone is going through and being able to put there trust into them. What attracted me the most about being an caregiver is that doing this kind of work has the potential to make a difference in someone's life. What I enjoy the most about being an caregiver is creating an bond with the individual. It's so amazing to grow and bond with someone that you know needs you some individuals don't always have family members so you become their family members. One of my personal achievements I am very proud of is I passed my CNA class test but was unable to take my test due to COVID-19. But I am still very grateful for being able to push myself and show that I could do the work. And one day be able to go to college and receive my lpn.
