About Adrianne

I am a great caregiver because I am, not only, a knowledgeable, professional, trustworthy, dependable and loyal Certified Nurse Assistant and Home Health Aide, but I am also passionate about helping, caring for and assisting others. I became a caregiver because I am committed to helping those that I care for get the best quality of life that they are able to achieve by showing a true interest in them, their lives, their environment, and by also giving them genuine companionship. I like assisting and caring for my patients with everything from their everyday personal needs, housekeeping activities, to engaging them in whatever physical and mental exercises that might be prescribed by their medical professional. It gives me a great deal of joy to see my patients have and maintain excellent health care while achieving a strong self confidence and sense of self esteem.

    My name is Margaret and I am actively seeking a caregiving position. I have been with my current client for 3 1/2 years but the time has come to make a change. I am a Dementia and Alzheimer's specialist. I am experienced in Memory Care. Memory Care clients are my favorite people in all of healthcare! Though my first pick is with the Dementia and Alzheimer's clients, I have had other clients with other conditions, such as, stroke, diabetes and congested heart failure etc.. In 2011 when my ex mother in law became sick I became one of her caregivers. It was then that I realized how much I enjoyed caring for her. I do believe this is my calling. I was once offered a position as manager of a home health company. I did not think I could do that job. I was right because I need to be the caregiver not the office person. I love my job. I like everything about caregiving. I love my seniors. I love their stories and their laughter. I'm happy when they are happy. I look forward everyday to seeing my seniors. I love cooking, cleaning and fussing over my seniors, so I'm a natural at caregiving. Remember if you love what you do it's never a job. My fee starts at $25 an hour. My fee increases if the shift is split. Also would like employer to pay a share of taxes. I am currently working for $24 an hour but I am not so sure that after 36.5 months it's working. So money is not the deciding factor for me. If you are looking for an experienced Alzheimer and or Dementia CNA , I could be the one!
