ALS Caregivers in Whitewater - 27 caregivers found

When my mother was ill, I was the one she would call to make her scrambled eggs. I took her to the swimming pool and hot tub to get exercise and relaxation. I cut her hair, took her to doctor's appointments and then lunch, and generally gave her some companionship. As I dusted her knickknacks, she told me where each was from. Mom died in 2002. When dad was ailing, some of my family tried to move him into assisted living, but he wanted to stay in his own home. I gave up my apartment and moved in with him, while working in publishing during the day. We had a great time together for a year and a half. Just after he died, I lost my job because I had spent too much time with dad. That evening, the daughter of a neighbor I'd assisted over the years called me, asking if I could help her mother. That began years of caregiving in which I have helped people stay in their homes, and enjoy life. I've brought my keyboard and played hymns and popular songs, singing with them and laughing. As a caregiver, I am simply happy to help my people stay in their own familiar setting. I believe the way I interact with them makes them happy. And my cooking makes them extremely happy! I built my cooking experience on my mom's, then learned to cook for fewer than 8 people! I edited three "Taste of the Country" cookbooks, working with a professional dietician who taught me many ways to fit dietary needs while providing tasty food.

I am a compassionate, empathetic, outgoing and trustworthy person. I started caregiving because I love working with people they have so many good stories to share. I recently went to school to get my nursing assistant certification, on my way to be a nurse.

I have a 2 year old son! I'm a very kind bright person

I have almost 6 years working with patients with dementia who I feel I offer a great outlook to life on their later days. I enjoy this sort of work because it's fulfilling and makes feel like I've accomplished something being there for others on their time of needs. I'm most proud when my patients not only remember my name but also has great things to mention about me to others

Hello I'm Jessica, I have worked in healthcare for 16+ years. I started my career working as a Dietary Aid for our local hospital. I spent 8 years in that department before continuing my Education for a Nursing Assistant. The last 8 years I have been on the CNA registry in both Wisconsin and Illinois. Working as As home care attendant or nursing staff for one of the hospitals outreach clinics. I am also CPR/AED certified

I love being a caregiver because I love helping people , people get older and can't take care of themselves and I love being there when they can't do things like they used to anymore.
