Hello my name is Anna Caldwell I was born in Seattle, Washington and raised in Portland Oregon. I moved to Austin, Tx 4 years ago. I am the second child of 5. I am a very caring and loving person raised mostly by my grandmother. I started my care providing over 30 years ago and I have never wanted to do anything else . It just comes natural to me , I love spending time helping out and doing for someone in need. I love animals I have a little dog myself. Don't mind helping with pets.

Because I enjoyed and love working with people. Do the best to help them what they need. I enjoyed being care giver I treat my residents like my own family. We just move to Austin 3 weeks ago from California and when I leave my work in California i was very shocked and surprise that how I important I am to my residents, boss, and my colleagues because they all giving me support and comforts. Everybody's sad. That my achievement that they treasure me as caregiver, assistant adminstrator and co worker. And I will never forget them.

In 1981, when I was a five-year-old child, my mother became gravely sick with an illness her doctors could not diagnose. She often spent four to five months at a time in the hospital, recover enough to come home, but would fall ill again and again with no explanations. This went on for approximately seven years. During the time my mom was home my two sisters, brother, and I did everything we could to make her comfortable that we were capable of doing as children. Yet, seeing my mom in pain and so much discomfort instilled within me a tremendous sense of empathy and compassion. Despite the short periods of time she spent at home between hospitalizations, I developed a deep sense of appreciation for my mother because I missed her terribly. Thankfully, she finally came home and the relief was immense. My grandmother lived with us for 15 years due to her deteriorating health as a result of diabetes, cataracts, loss of hearing, and the loss of the ability to clothe and prepare her own food. I helped to dress her in the morning, attend to her left foot which she almost lost to gangrene. But we managed to heal it and she only lost her left big toe. She was still able to walk albeit with a walking chair. I loved to bake so I would make special desserts for her which she was allowed small portions. It was a great activity for us to bond together. She could watch me make it and give me tips. In college, I became a Caregiver for a quadriplegic man. Although, I didn't have experience caring for a paralyzed man, Michael told me he would explain what he needed on the job. My morning shift started at 7AM and I bathed his nude body, medicated his bedsores, emptied his catheter, performed physical therapy, and fed him his breakfast. If he had chores to complete during my shift, I'd dress him then move him from his bed to his wheelchair and into in his van. Once we finished his chores, I would put him back in his bed, remove his clothing, and clean his apartment.

I receive a lot of gratitude from helping others. I especially enjoy helping the elderly. I cherish the friendships I make on my job. Even after some of my clients go to other agencies we remain friends. I have even been known to assist my clients on my days off if they are in need. I am a very caring and compassionate person. I don't treat my clients as a \"job\" , but I try to get to know them as a person. I take interest in their lives and needs. I treat each client as if they were my parent or family member. I would not have been in this field for 30 years for the pay. I do it for the satisfaction of helping others. The best achievement on my job was when I helped one of my clients that was choking. His wife just hugged me and kept saying thank God you were here. As I stated I have been doing this type of work for over 30 years. I have made and lost many friends throughout this time. I go above and beyond what is ask of my employer. I used to take a client's dog to the groomer on my days off, because she could not drive. I have bought them food with my own money until their checks came in. I really enjoy helping others and gain a lot of self gratitude from just a thank you.

I am a dedicated, honest, reliable caregiver with impeccable references. I have 15 yrs of rehabilitation experience and over 10 yrs working with clients with dementia.

I love making people smile, I enjoy doing things for people to enrich a persons life. I take pride and give great attention to detail (I'm a retired photographer so attention to detail was extremely important). I don't want a desk job, I want to be physical in my job using my mind and body.
