Arthritis Caregivers in Stratford - 19 caregivers found

Hello, my names Diana. I am a licensed COTA with a bachelors degree. I worked per diem in a few different nursing home so I have experience with the geriatric population. I did home care during my fieldwork. I have experience working with clients in their homes. I love helping others and making individuals feel comfortable in their homes.

I believe I'm a great caregiver because I am passionate and caring I love taking care of people and helping them anything I could do to make a person's life better makes me feel better about myself. I started in the field because I do enjoy caring for people so much. I have dealt with all kinds of people from different age ranges with a range of different issues that they may need assistance with and I have always loved doing what I'm doing and I will continue to love doing what I'm doing. I have tried other career paths and they just weren't for me and I honestly believe that caregiving and taken care of and helping people is what I was meant to do.

My abilities and interests in becoming a care giver were fostered during my young teenager years. An immediate family member of mine has experienced many health issues, some of which were life changing medical emergencies. At a very young age I became a caregiver to this family member, which included providing direct daily care, feeding, ambulating, and educating them on their health journey. Along with experience caring for other family members with various conditions, I am also currently enrolled in a 2-year, RN Nursing Program at SUNY Morrisville; which is my proudest achievement so far! Nursing school has provided me with a further understanding of medical knowledge, disease processes, patient centered care abilities, and hands on learning (includes In-Patient clinical rotations). Because of this I am continuously able to add to my list of experience with various health conditions, some including: Alzheimer's, Dementia, Cerebral Palsy, Lesch Nyhan Syndrome, Autism Syndrome, Diabetes, Stroke, Heart Attack, Depression, Anxiety, Ostomy Bags, and more. I am a very organized and detail-oriented person, I enjoy keeping a schedule and planning in advance as much as possible. I have always been described as mature, professional, and approachable. I truly enjoy caring for people, and I work hard to ensure individuals feel comfortable with their care. Nothing is more rewarding to me than making positive impacts on those around me!

Hi, my name is Marlana. I have worked in the field of caregiving for 4 years now. I am outgoing and have a passion for what I do. I love seeing a smile on my clients faces, and seeing them live to their best of their abilities. What had drawn me into this field of work was my mother. She has been a caregiver for 20+ years, and she has nothing but a big heart. Coming home at the end of the day feeing like you improved someone's life is unmatched.

I currently work as a direct support professional at Saratoga Bridges. I find this job very rewarding and touching. I feel that those with disabilities have the biggest hearts and offer the greatest learning opportunities. Many.people are quick to judge these people instead of taking the chance to really get to know them. I think they would offer you the world if they had it to give. I enjoy watching them grow and helping them in the areas in which they may struggle. I enjoy joy helping others and have a big heart. I have always been one to help those who need it. I am currently going to school to become an RN and eventually want to work with children with cancer at St. Judes.

I believe a caregiver should be someone that the patient can trust undoubtedly, and be able to bond with. After all we spend so much time with someone in their home everyone needs to be comfortable. I don't just see caring for people as a service but an honor. To be able to get to know someone's life, likes, dislikes and story all make this type of work extremely rewarding. **Will be available full time any hours after May first. Until then times will need to be set up in advance. My other job is 2-10 pm.

I have been a care giver since 2008. I became interested in being a caregiver when my grandmother needed care. She is what drove me in my career. I cannot picture doing anything else as this is what brings me joy. The ability to keep our elderly at home for as long as possible and make sure their needs are met above and beyond is what I strive for.

I'm a father of two children currently. Daily living, and enjoyable days are my forte. I can help with almost anything as long as you are up to the task of completing it. Willing to help any gender, females will only require extra eyes to insure everything is fine. Males will be treated the same as all others. Worked with PTSD, Depression, Diabetes, mental/physical disability's, and goal oriented lifestyles.

Growing up with my grandparents I learned to care for the elderly. Once my grandparents got older I ended up caring for them until they passed. I'd cook, clean, medication reminders, help them walk, help them in the tub, help them get dressed and do grocery shopping. I enjoyed doing it and being there for them. Eventually after they passed I ended up moving to gloversville to care for my father who is legally blind. I'd do his grocery shopping, clothing shopping, cook, clean house and laundry. I did this until he was able to get a in home nurse to come in every day. Then, I ended up getting a job through Fulton Center to be able work with the elderly and be there for them as some families don't see there loved ones once in nursing home so, with working In that setting it brings joy to some of the residents to have that time with someone even of they believe your they're family seeing them. Being a caregiver is rewarding to see the smiles on others faces that you bring to them and knowing that they know you care about them.

For 2yrs I took care of my grandparents before they passed. My grandpa had hard time remembering so, had give him is medication and to take a bath. My grandma had a hard time working so I had to do her dressing on her foot, cook, clean, laundry ect. Having to care for my grandparents made me want to be able to care for others plus lot seniors don't have companions where they just want company and feel wanted/loved. I enjoy bringing joy to seniors to see them happy and laughing. My personal achievement is everything I learned caring for my grandparents and then helping care for my husbands cousin who has autism. Just joy you see in them and what you also learn from them.
