Arthritis Caregivers in Truchas - 7 caregivers found

One of my expertise is in art. I find it helpful in caregiving because you have to be very creative. Whether it's going to an art museum on an outing or painting and drawing a picture at home. It's always good to get your creative juices flowing. One of the things I like about being a caregiver is that it feels good to help someone else. Little by little if we all help each other out the world will be a better place for the next generation.

I have about 7 years experience in the healthcare industry. This includes 3 years working in a long term care facility as a cook and also as a CNA. I have taken care of 6 older men at the end of their lives and have my prerequisites for Masters in Occupational Therapy (MOT). This includes about 70 hours of working with O.T.s in geriatric, pediatric and a hospital settings. In addition to these experiences I have also taught holistic health classes to seniors that include the topics of nutrition, physical, mental and spiritual health. In these classes we practice Yoga and Tai Chi done in and around a chair as part of our body work. Since I am an older person myself and have had a number of health concerns and challenges through the years, I enjoy being able to share what has and hasn't worked for me in regards to my own health and working with the concerns of aging. I have always had "older" friends. Even when I was young I seemed to develop deeper relationships and friendships with aunts, uncles, neighbors and even landlords and employers. Trying to help others to find joy through a deeper connection to themselves, their situation and their lives usually bringsvit's own sense of rewards for me. On a personal note, I enjoy travel, seeing new place and experiences new cultures. I believe by experiencing diversity in its many forms we can begin to see how we are all connected and the oneness we all share. This in turn can help all of us find a sense of our own self and bring meaning to our lives. Often the most important thing we can do for each other is to simply listen and be with each other.

I am a talkative, adventurous, and caring individual with a true passion for supporting others. Caring for others brings me genuine joy, and I find fulfillment in helping my patients feel comfortable, respected, and content in their daily lives. I began caring for others, such as seniors at 18 years old and continued until I was 25, gaining valuable hands-on experience providing companionship, assistance with errands, and attentive care. I am highly observant and attentive to changes in my patients' well-being, and I prioritize clear communication with both seniors and their families. In addition to my caregiving care experience, I was a preschool teacher for over five years. This role strengthened my patience, flexibility, and ability to adapt to different personalities and needs. As a parent myself, caregiving is a natural part of who I am. I am looking for a position where I can stay active, move around throughout the day, and continue making a positive impact in others' lives. I am very communicative, dependable, willing to go above and beyond, and flexible with scheduling. My key skills include: Strong communication with seniors and family members Observing and recognizing when someone is not feeling well Providing companionship while respecting personal space Assisting with errands and daily tasks Creating a warm, supportive, and engaging environment

I have been in the healthcare field for about 6 years. I recently graduated from Northern New Mexico College Nursing program. I have a compassion for caring and helping individuals that are in need. I'm enthusiastic about learning and love a sense of humor! The healthcare field is just for me.

I have been a caregiver for year's. It is one of the most rewarding jobs I have had along with working as a floral designer for a non profit org. Called flowers for life. I would take flowers 2 elderly in nursing homes that didn't have anyone that came 2 see them. My last caretaking job was for Martha and Red fisher. Martha had terminal cancer, and Red had Alzheimer's. I was with them for a year before Martha passed and Red moved out of state 2 live with his son. I still write him once a week. Hopefully its a good day that he remembers me!

It feels highly rewarding knowing you're changing the life of those in need of assistance. My passion for this started after the passing of my dad, I wished I could've done more to help him in the stages he needed to gain in-dependability to get better. Later my grandpa was admitted into hospice care and I had the chance to care for him everyday. After, it sparked the idea to get back to school and follow a path I was really passionate about. I began to go to school for nursing assistance. I then accepted a training position where I had 100+ hours of training. Caring for the elderly gives you a lot of great perspective. While working with this demographic, you begin to really value your time with them. The mutual respect that you can develop with the aging population is truly special.
