Karen S.

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

My name is Bonnie and I've been a caregiver for 39 years. I started out doing caregiving for my family after my mom became ill and really enjoyed supporting my family . I worked for several agencies and gained training and experience working with clients with various conditions. I also completed certificate training as a pharmacy tech which is very helpful when dealing with medication and pharmacy issues. I like to listen to clients experiences which I find very interesting. I am patient and provide safe, nurturing environments. I am have good written and verbal communication skills. I am flexible with scheduling and if an occasion arises where I need to spend extra time with a client I do my best to accommodate that need. I have experience working with a hospice team and love being a dependable part of a caregiving team! One of my best accomplishments so far has been training for and completing the LA marathon with the Leukemia Society in 1999. I was able to raise $2000 and awareness for the Leukemia society and do something positive for my family and myself as my sister had Leukemia. I have experience petsitting and giving medication to both cats and dogs. I am registered with the Homecare Svcs Bureau as required by law and I'm listed as a cleared provider. My I'd is #7501121723.
