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.

Hello, I'm Laura 32 years old and I have been a nursing assistant for about 10 years. Unfortunately, I have allowed my certification to lapse but will hopefully be able to reinstate it some time in the near future. I have worked in long-term care and hospital settings. I also started working with in home support service clients at 16 with my mother and started working as a nanny at 18 and have worked with clients from 9 days old to 99 years old. I am very comfortable working in different settings and with a variety of personalities. I have impeccable references and usually only work for clients that have been referred to me by former clients however I am trying to expand my horizons and try something new. I have worked with patients in a facility as well as at home who have g-tubes, foley and straight catheters, and colostomy bags. In the near future I hope to complete school, which I have put on hold for now due to financial difficulties, and continue to grow through helping others during a most difficult time in their lives.
