Showing 1-15 of 115 caregivers found
I started out early in my life working with the elderly. I got a co-op job working in a nursing home in the afternoons, as part of job training in high school. It was great getting hours to graduate and learning hands on care with the elderly. I found that I really enjoyed working with the senior population. I love being able to comfort those in need. Being able to make someone who's lonely, laugh along with showing empathy and really caring for individuals in need. Helping others is rewarding to me because you focus on others, and end up seeing how truly blessed your life is. As a caregiver I have grown to realize how just little simple things in life that most of us take for granted, are greatly appreciated by those in need. A hug, reading the newspaper to someone who loves to read, but can not see well, or just by saying hello and acknowledging that person is in the room. My personal achievements are my two kids, who have grown up to be great adults. Then it's my degree that I went back to school {late in life I might add} and did quite well back in school. I love to read, along with enjoying a good conversation with people in general.

I believe to be a great caregiver because I have compassion and patience when it comes to caring for others. I treat my clients/residents as if they are my loved ones. I became a caregiver in 2002 caring for the mentally challenged then I got my CNA license in 2008 so since I came out of high school, care giving has been my occupation. I would say it's my calling from God; my purpose on this earth. I am a mother of 2 girls (8yr and 2yr). I'm currently taking classes to get in fscj nursing program for A.S in nursing(Rn). I'm reliable, honest, trustworthy, dependable, a person that will go above and beyond for anyone, and a woman of Christ. I love being a caregiver because I love caring for others knowing I helped someone and they love forward to seeing you again and again means you are doing something right and my residents/clients look forward to seeing me and for that I will be forever grateful knowing I made a difference in others lives.
