Being a caregiver is a rewarding experience. I enjoy being able to help someone in need. Throughout my caregiving career I have had the privilege of caring for wonderful individuals with different diagnosis and needs. I place myself in the position of the client allowing myself to see situations from the clients viewpoint for the best possible outcome.

My Last Job was a little over 2 years ago. Caring for a couple Husband and wife. Full care for both. Husband was blind, his wife was crippled and had a colostomy bag. duties including bathing, dressing , cooking . helping with bathroom duties , changing the colostomy bag. Light house keeping Doctor Appointments, Shopping, Visiting with them. Both people were a joy to help. She passed on suddenly and sadly he followed within weeks. This was in late 2021 I have been caring for myself and enjoying my family since then. I have 30 years worth of care giving , so many jobs I am sure I have forgotten about some perhaps a job I had for a week then the client passed on. Some Jobs only lasted a few weeks others a few years. They range from quadriplegic to just needing companionship years and years worth of experience. Nothing can train a person like hands on Nothing . Two things that no one can train a person for are love for people and Compassion these are not skills that can be taught yet they are a major component in this field. you take that Compassion add it to a deep desire to learn and help and you end up with a fantastic Caregiver No two personality's are alike you learn people it is a amazing journey.
