Hi, My name is Dee, I've been a CNA for years by now, I have experience in home health and nursing homes as well. I love to help people in need. Thank you,

When I was young I lived on a dead end street. The only people on the street were seniors. I took it upon myself as a 6 year old child to go visit them. My parents also thought that was "different" for a child of that age. That trait always stayed with me. Seniors are of are our past and present. I have always had the gift for talking and taking care of those who need someone, particularly the older people of our society. When my grandmother was in nursing home. I got a position as a nurses aid so I could be close to her. And thus my love grew even more, if that was possible to take care of people. The thing I love most about being a caregiver is making someone's day and seeing them smile. My personal achievement that I am most proud of is the look on someone's face when I just sit and talk to them about their past.

I'm a good care giver because I treat my clients as if the are family ..... understand when the are in pain they might not be in the best of moods. I try to understand the best I can and help the best I can.

I was a caregiver to a quadriplegic professor when I was in college to help pay for my tuition. After college, I continued doing private care on the side for some Alzheimer patients at a nursing home. In 2004, I enrolled at a nursing school for a year and a half. I did not finish my degree, but I did receive my certification as a CNA and as a Medication Technician. I keep up to date with the newest discoveries and findings in the world of medicine. Even though I have not had any new medical training, I am current on my knowledge of diseases, medications and side effects of such medications. For instance, I am aware that when you care for an Alzheimer's patient, you step into his/her world, and not insist that he/she conforms to your expectations of what is real. I am compassionate and capable. All of the kids are either all grown or almost grown, but I still have this vast need to nurture. My husband refuses to be smothered, so, I need to go out of the house and find someone else who would appreciate being cared for :-) My kids are my biggest accomplishment. The eldest is going to medical school this summer, and the middle one is attending UMKC in August. The youngest one is doing great as a Sophomore while giving out just enough sass to maintain her teenage status.
