I Love people And not just anyone can do this kind of work. You have to have a passion for people, and that's what I have. Every client I have had love my work.

Some personality traits about myself is that I'm outgoing, caring and honest when it comes to my work and always try doing my best job at any task that I'm given. Helping my grandmother take care of my great grandmother attracted me to become a caregiver, helping others you love is an unmatched feeling. I enjoy being able to make the clients smile and happy knowing I made their day easier just by being a helping hand. A personal achievement I'm proud of is still being in college although I ran into some obstacles along the way.

Love feeling needed. Also love giving the patient the best, day possible. Love to watch old movies, bring old postcards, or cook be dishes their mother made in the past. Miss my own grandparents terribly. Caregiving fills that void for me. Love, it when my patients relive the past, and feel young again! Proud of taking care of people and helping them regain joy, in their last days.

I enjoy being with the elderly. Making meals and conversation. I can perform light housekeeping. I have strong work ethics. I am kind and non intrusive. I have my own car. I have been providing care for the elderly for one year now. I have worked in many homes with many ages and also in Caregiving facilities.

I enjoy working with people, and meeting new people! I have experience working in an assisted living home! I like making any environment fun and comfortable!

I'm an experienced caregiver currently searching for the next assignment. I have experience working with elderly people including those with dementia. I worked in California (San Francisco, Palo Alto, Red Wood city) . I have been recognized for my ability to relate and to find a good contact with my clients. I learn about their interests and hobbies and support them. I like to listen to their life stories and make them feel appreciated. One man from my previous work (he was 86, Alzheimer) and he spoke three languages. He has many books and we spend a lot of time in his library. Another, my client, was a teacher and I wrote on a computer the stories of her life. The third man has an advanced form of dementia and I took care of his basic needs. I cherish those experiences and each of them makes me a better caregiver. I wanted to let you know that I like what I do.

Making a difference in the lives of adults and seniors is my calling. For the past eight years, I've been privileged to support their well-being and independence, and offer peace of mind to their families. As a Nursing Assistant, I provide respite care, transportation, hospice services, and home health assistance. I am also adept at personal care, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and managing medications. I'm experienced in dementia care, including de-escalating stressful situations and incorporating memory care activities. I communicate with families through daily reports, text, or phone calls, always respecting their preferred method. Building a connection with your loved one means understanding their preferences and personal history. I hold current CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications. Knowing I can bring comfort and support to your family is what motivates me every day.

I love working with people! I have worked in Mexico and Utah with all ages of people but I truly enjoy working with the older generation the most and I believe I am good at making people feel comfortable. I live to encourage people and help them feel important and needed to the end!! All generations need to be together and there is so much we can learn from our elders. I am a Christian but I believe everyone has the right to believe what they choose. I would love to meet you and be of whatever help I can be to you and your family. I have traveled, lived abroad, raised a family, worked as a secretary and as a care giver. I hope our paths cross!
