Arthritis Caregivers in Gantt - 7 caregivers found

Hello my name is Katelyn Robertson, I love working with people, and I'm very Passionate about what I do.

I have 18 yrs experience as a caregiver for elderly, disabled individuals. I have a history of being a CNA, Rehab assistant, and a sitter. I enjoy being able to aid these individuals maintain their quality of life, whether it means helping with showers, meals, household chores or running errands, among other services.

I have a great personality I along with every one. I love helping people. I enjoy seeing my clients everyday. My personal achievement is getting my CNA certificate that made me proud

I retired10 years ago and wanted to make a difference in people's lives. Got a job at Walmart and discovered very little opportunities to reach people. Heard of homecare and attended CNA classes at Manor at Bluewater Bay, FL. To get professional training went to work in Nursing home owned by Signature Health Services, a large organization. Despite the glowing accolades of superior services, I discovered very little time and cut corners on cleaning residents messes, shoving food before they finished swallowing and excuses for not answering call lights. This has prompted me to cut my planned 12-24 month experience short and go into one on one caregiving. I quit a job in SC to go assist my 95-year-old Father. Then accompanied my wife when she sat with clients, I did the cooking (Healthful, tasty and attractive meals) housecleaning, laundry and driving to Drs appointments, shopping trips, visiting, chatting, and playing games with the clients. Have worked well with both Male and Female clients.

I think I would make a great caregiver because I had to give care to my own mother ,grandmother and father in law while they were all 3 dealing with terminal illness 2 of them cancer so I learned alot and seen alit from being a caregiver to my own family some of them for months .It's very hard to watch your loved ones sick or in pain but they need the comfort and companionship and whatever other needs may be needed!I would want someone to comfort me one day if I am ever in a situation like such .It takes someone with a caring heart more than anything and strong interest in helping others and that I definitely have!

What makes me a great caregiver is , the compassion i have for all people, but The elderly is my Heart. I enjoy giving them a reason to smile and laugh every day. And they keep me laughing and enjoying their company. I'm a Honest and caring person. Thankful the lord gave me this opportunity to take care of people and became a great caring nurse. I have worked Hospital and Nursing Home and assisted living, I know my calling is geriatrics. Working in memory care facility for years gave me the confidence to redirect resident with altered memorys with compassion and give them that comfort when they experience agitation from memory loss.

I really enjoy being able to give back , to help others. I have been a cna for 15 years very compassionate about what I do.
