Cancer Recovery Caregivers in Upson County - 19 caregivers found

I became a caregiver because I love taking care of people, it gives me a pleasure to see that I can help people who can't help themselves. My personal achievement that I'm proud of is that I was able to be a caregiver for my mom who had brain cancer but passed last June due to her illness,and still worked as a c.n.a in geriatrics.

I enjoy being a help for others, caring and having patience are my qualities. Seeing people that really appreciate help and knowing that someone is here to be there in their time of need.

Hi my name is Erin. Let me start by telling you why I got into this line of work to begin with. My dad is 60 yrs old now but in 2013 he was diagnosed with leukemia. He went through several rounds of chemo and then his bone marrow transplant. After a bone marrow transplant they give you medicine to keep you from rejecting the transplant. He was so sick and not getting any better. He began having siezures which lead the doctors to do more tests to find out why and when they did they found that he was allergic to the medicine and it had caused him to have several strokes. From there he went on to an acute care facility and to rehab but he was never the same. It left him paralyzed. While he was in and out if these facilities we saw so many things that were just wrong. Patients calling for nurses and the nurses never went to help. After that we took him home and mother and I learned to care for my father ourselves. After all that I decided I was going to go into home healthcare to care for people so that they didn't have to go to a nursing home because people deserve to be loved and cared for just like my father. This personal experience is what makes me a great caregiver.

I became a caregiver so that I could be able to take care of my mother, I like the one on one care that way I can take better care of the clients. My sisters and I took care of my mother for 14 years. I know she 's was getting the best care at home instead of being in a nursing home. I thank God she lived to be 92 years old. I have learn so much by taking care of her. I have been a Certified Nurse Assistant for 16 year. And I love taking care of peoples, that 's my calling.

My expertise is being a caregiver. I love helping and taking care of people! I started working in a nursing facility then I decided that I wanted to do home health. I love to be able to help someone to stay at their place of residency rather than them having to leave their familiar environment.

Hi, my name is Chandra. I am Covid-19 vaccinated and CPR and First Aide certified. I have always had a desire and passion to take care of others whether it's children, the elderly, disabled, or anyone in need of care. I gave care to my mother, who had cancer and was confined to a bed. The same love and compassion that was given to my mother during her care, will be the same love and compassion given to your loved ones.

Born to older parents, exposed to illness, my parents didn't believe that this should be hidden from me. It would be better to be exposed in order to be prepared for life. Parents were German immigrants, and went through the second world war. One of the earliest experiences that I can remember is my dad relapsing from malaria. I applied cold compresses, and served him liquids, as the doctor told me to. My mom was ill, and cared for her until she died at age 46.I was 12. At 17, I was hired by Kimberly Quality Care as a home health aide. My client suffered a traumatic brain injury, and I learned so much from his family and the research I did on the subject. This led me to nursing school, and here it is, so many years later, and I am still learning more. Science and medicine are my passion, and that will never change. The advances made daily basis are not just amazing, but confounding. The scientific community is one I'm proud to be a part of. The best thing that I have ever done was in South Carolina, on the 3-11 shift. In order to save a life, I bypassed facility protocol, and I called rescue to send a patient to the hospital STAT. The staff was shocked, and told me that I would be fired. I was ready to lose my license, if that would just save that life. Long story short, the MD, who was also the medical director, treated this patient. He came in the following shift to let me know that the person survived, and if I had hesitated, that would not have been the case. I receiv

My listening skills go past my ears and mind. As a caregiver I listen with my heart. My upbeat attitude has a mission to make one smile. I became a caregiver as a result of seeing my mother taking care of grandpa due to an amputated leg. I got hired at a nursing home in dietary and my coworkers advised me to nurse. I did and fell in love. There is something special about helping someone and seeing the change you make in their day. I must say that is the greatest achievement. I'm originally from Oklahoma. I come from a small town called Altus.

I'm loving and compassionate. I want to help and heal. I believe nursing, especially home care, is so much more then medication and physical care. It's about compassion and companionship. My goal as a caregiver is to establish a bond with the family and build on it to make the experience easier and more comfortable. My goal isn't to just help my patient(s) be physically comfortable I want them to be happy as well through their recovery or treatments and in their day to day lives. In high school I completed the intro into healthcare course, and I hope to obtain my CNA in the near future (before January 2018) but as a single parent I don't have the funds to pay for school right now. My official start date to accept clients will be Nov. 27, 2017. Hours and prices are always negotiable. I hope to establish a great bond with you and your family by being your caregiver.

I wanted to be a caregiver because I love helping people that can't help themselves anymore. I enjoy seeing people smile and helping them through hard times and giving them a reason to look forward to everyday. Being an RN is my main goal but I started as a CNA to start my career and move up as I go through school.
