1,291 caregivers with Cancer Recovery experience found near Norcross
Following rigorous cancer treatment, individuals and caregivers must fully commit to health restoration. While recovering from the disease, elders will likely experience fatigue, pain, swelling, dental problems, nausea, weight changes, or bowel and bladder issues as the aftermath of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Due to the fragility of seniors’ health, caregivers are especially attentive towards their individuals’ needs and wellness changes over time. Maintaining everyday household responsibilities such as cleaning, cooking and laundry; providing a healthy and low-fat diet; calming exercise; follow-up care with doctors and symptom monitoring are all important aspects of caring for cancer survivors.

Hi my name is Neyata I have been working as a cna/ Caregiver for 3 years. I expect to make my patients' lives easier and more comfortable. Im caring and compassionate. I work with many patients in the local area. I am responsible for accompanying patients to local doctor's appointments, assisting patients with personal care and health monitoring and helping to maintain a clean home environment for each patient. I maintain accurate and updated records on each of my patients. I transport patients to doctor's appointments, making beds, doing laundry, preparing meals, giving patients their medications, light cleaning or running errands, maintain sanitary conditions in the home environment.
Being a caregiver for the past 8 years has helped me in so many ways. I decided to get into nursing when my mother became sick and couldn't do much for herself and I helped day in and day out. I saw how much of a positive impact it had on her and it made me feel great. I have worked in Hospitals, Nursing Home and Skilled Facilities, Private Duty, etc. I love what I do in helping each client I've ever worked with whether it be from recovery start and finish or just companionship and daily living activities. Taking care of someone that needs my help and undivided attention gives me joy and it lets me know how truly appreciate I am to help someone who can't do for themselves.
I became a caregiver because of a family member who became very ill. I became his caretaker and enjoyed taking care of him even though it was a difficult time for me. He was very comfortable with the care that was provided and it was something I knew I wanted to do from that time on.
What I like most about being a Caregiver is I like to see that a patient/client is being well cared for and that I am making that happen for them. I like to see the satisfaction on their faces knowing I have done a job well done.
A personal achievement I am proud of is that every patient/client that I have worked with, providing care for, was very pleased with my work and they have expressed it with words of appreciation themselves and with my supervisors.
I am a person who takes my job seriously and I like to be proficient in my work. I have been in the Healthcare field for 15 plus years and am very skilled in it. I like to get the job done right the first time. I can also be humorous with the patient/client when it is appropriate to make their day a little brighter. I really enjoy working with them.

Thank you for visiting my profile! My name is Yvonne Thompson, and I am a loving caregiver with over 15 years of experience. I have worked with a diverse group of people over the years, and all my experiences have lead me to become a more compassionate caregiver and insightful human being. I first started caregiving because of my interest in health and holistic wellness. I knew as a caregiver my ability to devote true attention and positive energy to my clients would be a special part of their healing process. I love to brighten the days for those who can't always do for themselves. I naturally bring positive energy and happiness everywhere I go and this always inspires my clients.
My ultimate achievement as a caregiver, was being able to care for my beloved mother for several years, before she made her final transition from this world. In those years my heart expanded and I knew that being a caregiver was a part of my purpose. I enjoy meeting new people and understanding their story. Family is very important to me and so my clients often become my extended family.
I believe that kindness, gentleness and open hearted understanding are the key components of my gift as a caregiver. I understand the vulnerability in opening your home and extending sacred responsibilities of a love one to a stranger. I take my purpose as a caregiver seriously and truly love helping and connecting with people.

Throughout the years; I've come across many kinds of patients and clients. Some that are completely ok with having someone to help with their daily life and some that do not like having someone help them and would rather be independent. I help them with anything they need while at the same time making sure that they aren't feeling as if their just being handled. My First Private Case; I got introduced into this industry from a colleague that said I could be a perfect fit since I like to help people and I had earlier experience with Dementia, Alzheimer's, & Hospice Care. 30 years in and I don't regret it at all. I enjoy my job.
