My aging mother who suffered from early-onset Alzheimer's first opened my eyes to the challenges of caring for an aging parent. I attended seminars, took courses and got my Nursing Assistant certification to care for her. I learned a lot of patience and tactics for working with the elder population. One of the joys and, I think, one of my strengths as a caregiver is providing companionship , stability and finding fun and meaning in unlikely places.

Hello, Although I have a degree/career in the operating room assisting surgeons with surgeries..........I have found my passion in making a tremendous difference in the quality & care of one's life by caregiving and nursing career. My grandparents played a tremendous role in my life (whom I also cared for at the end of their long lives) and I have always been very comfortable & fond of elderly, and geriatric people. I have found it to be an absolute joyful and rewarding experience to be a caregiver & nurse. We are called to take good care of the Widowed & Orphaned. My passion and love for them are evident. I am healthy, strong, vaccinated, devoted, honest, compassionate, dependable, caring, and extremely patient. Very detail oriented and trustworthy. I enjoy caring for someone as well as doing activities together. I enjoy connecting and listening to amazing stories of loved ones and past history. It is very important for me to stay engaged with the individual and showing them that they matter. It is very crucial to care for someone by treating them with the utmost dignity and respect. if possible, it is important to keep the person socially connected and take out in the community. (if he/she desires) Thanks so much for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to caring for you or your loved one. *Member of Surgical Technologists Association *CPR/BLS Certification *Surgical Tech *Medical Assistant *Caregiver *Healthcare volunteer *CNA *Nursing student *Voluneer with Minuteies at Church *Volunteer at Non Profit Organization
