Arthritis Caregivers in Canyon County - 36 caregivers found

I am prior military. While attending grossmont college, I was the president of the student veterans organization. I thought it would be a great idea, back in 2008, to have our veterans go into the community and help in assisted living facilities and skilled nursing facilities. After seeing how short staffed, over worked, under paid, and how these patients felt, I knew I needed to help. My children and I would paint their nails, do their hair, play bingo, assist in sporting events like the, in-house Kentucky Derby, with stick horses, play music, feed them and provide comfort during the holidays, make mobiles for patients one their ceilings, for the ones that could not get out of bed, and provide comfort for so many people that do not have family or friends to visit them.

Since leaving school I have always enjoyed being around people, I enjoy helping people and making their days better. My mother had Multiple Sclerosis and I was her carer before she moved into a nursing home. I am able to care for someone needing assistance with their daily activities; be that bathing, grooming, feeding, going to appointments or companionship, and many other things as needed. If you have animals, then that is just fine with me; I love all animals very much.

I love the fulfillment I receive by being a care giver. My first job, off the farm, was as a CNA in a retirement home. There I cared for one of several wings full of elderly people all with various levels of need. I have found that working with the elderly and being able to bring stability and comfort to their daily lives, the most rewarding job I've ever had. I take care of elderly couples in their 90's to ensure their life quality at home. Love my references.... Today, my grandma is still living independently in a very large home; at the age of 99; that she has maintained for many years. With some outside help, such as myself, she is able to go on living there instead of a retirement home. I look forward to working with my clients and see how I can make things safe and capable for them. I've also come to realize, that even a person, my own age, can have so many needs too and with just the right person to assist with the activities of daily living, makes all the difference in the world to so many people.

What makes me an excellent caregiver? I've spent many years working in hospitals and cancer patients, physicians offices, nursing homes, and private home care. The many teams I've worked with and amazing patients with so many varied needs have only strengthened my desire to care for others! I treat people as I would want to be treated...it really is that simple. Kindness, compassion, humor, experience, courage and strength are what I bring to every job.

Hello everyone, my name is Dayley. I've been an active CNA since 2018. I graduated high school with my certification and within a few months received my Med Tech certification. I've worked in several different types of care facilities since then. I specialize in dementia/alzheimer patients, but have experience in home health care and assisted living as well. I'm outgoing, fun, and organized. My passion for this work comes from a deep bond that I hold with my own grandmother and to be able to share that caring side of myself with my client and their families. My purpose is to give my care senior the respect, love and care that I would show my own grandmother. Thank you for taking the time to consider myself as your loved one's caregiver.
