Hi I'm Holly! I have a deep respect for aging adults. I started my caregiving experience by caring for my grandmother with dementia. I am patient, a good listener, and calm under pressure. I am excellent at anticipating needs and easily learn and fit into your loved ones routines. I am also a Certified Caregiver and a graduate student working on my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have experience with Dementia, Alzheimer's, Wheelchair, and Immobilized clients and Wound Care. I have assisted clients with a variety of diseases and I am familiar with most medical equipment.

I became a caregiver because my Grandmother was stricken with Alzheimer's disease and I stopped everything and took care of her till the end. I believe God gave me this gift through my Grandmother because once she passed I continued on with another client then another and before I knew it I was loving what I was doing and I was passionate about it. I eventually went back to school and became certified. I am a loving, loyal, honest, kind, and a caring person and I have a lot of patience.

Hello, my name is Eve. I am 20 years old, I have a son. I like to paint my toenails, exercise, and listen to music. I am in school working on my associates degree in behavior health service. I am very hard working and dedicated in anything I set my mind on.

I'm a very hard worker and work great in teams. I take my role very seriously and I tend to bond very well with all of my clients. I'm very organized and do things in a timely manner. I love the caregiver role because I love being a good companion to my clients.

I believe I am a great caregiver because I genuinely care for the people I take care of and treat them as if they were my own family. I want them to be happy when they see me and be able to confidently say I take good care of them. A few years ago, I never saw myself doing this type of work whatsoever. I honestly really needed a job and a local nursing home hired me and took me through classes to get certified! I found myself there for over a year and I knew almost everyone by name on all of the halls. I had a special bond with one lady in particular and she always loved seeing me come into her room. She always made sure to tell me how good I'm doing. Overall, just knowing I am helping those who cannot help themselves gives me some sense of purpose and it makes me feel good. You get close to the people you take care of and they become like a grandma or grandpa to you. My favorite part about having a little extra time and sitting down to talk to some of the residents. I'm fascinated by what things were like 50+ years ago and hearing all about their life and experiences. I also enjoy looking at pictures with them. Every single one of them have different quarks and personalities and it's so fun talking to some of them. I am most proud of the way I can confidently say that I take GOOD care of my residents and that I do it for more than just a check. If I can go home with a clear mind and know for sure I did the best of my ability, I know I'm doing something right. I care for them like I would want someone to care for my mom or grandparents.
