Cancer Recovery Caregivers in Bozeman - 7 caregivers found

Care-giving that spans a lifetime, because it's my nature. Providing care in both home and facility settings. In the personal realm, I helped raise a well-adjusted and good human, who has herself become an exceptional mother. We welcomed a first grandchild, in 2016, who is the light of my life, the second in 2019, a sweet/tart little spitfire, and are expecting a third soon! Such a joy! In the mid-1990s, my sister and I operated an in-home daycare, so we could have social time for my daughter. We were new to the area, with no connections and limited resources. That was a busy time! In the early-2000s, I subbed in an Adult Daycare/Work Center and associated group homes, for developmentally disabled adults (Counterpoint, Inc). I've also volunteered with Eagle Mount. When my daughter was 3-1/2, I began working on a BS in Environmental Science. It took a little extra time, but I got it done in 2003. I worked in industry for 12+ years, before my next caregiving "gig". In 2016, we learned that the cancer, put in check in 2012, had returned and metastasized, in my Grandfather. It was always my plan to care for them, in this stage of life. I spent much of 2017 teamed up with my Grandmother. We made it through. My Grandfather died at home, surrounded by his wife and children. In addition to metastatic lung cancer, he experienced Lewy body dimension. On returning home, I worked as a Life Skills Trainer, in a group home for adults with traumatic brain injuries (Liberty Place). The individuals served are medically and psychologically complex. I experienced crisis situations with two residents, was able to support them, help them stay safe, and both made it through. Services included medication management, scheduling, transport, and advocacy, in addition to help in relearning life skills and providing recreational opportunities.

I am a kind and compassionate caregiver and enjoy forming a relationship with those I serve. Working as a caregiver and helping others remain in their home and receive the best services possible is my personal goal and that is what I seek to accomplish with my caregiving. I am proud that I have worked over the years to assist others to remain in their homes and not to have to access institutional options. Working well with families is important to me and I feel that I am a member of a team with my consumers best interests at heart.

I am a exceptionally great caregiver with many abilities, skills and experiences.

I am a very personable and outgoing person. Taking care of others has always been something I have done. I am a compassionate and very caring and empathetic person. I love the relationship and companionship that is built between the client the clients family and myself. Being organized and very clean is something I take pride in. I hate being late to anything!! I became a caregiver after my grandparents passed and I spent a lot of time caring for my grandmother. It has been nothing but rewarding for me. I love being a caregiver and wouldn't change it for anything. It brings a lot of joy to my life being able to be there for someone who is in need.

I have less than a year of experience on being a paid caregiver but I do have more than 20 years of experience in doing caregiving.

This is super sensitive subject to me but as much as they tell you don't get close to your residents/patients I always seems to grow close to them. Even I left my place of employment the family of each resident reached out and with their permission I would see them until they were no longer with us. I have seen soooo much through my life and have held many hands that are no longer with us and remained contact with their relatives. I love love love our elders so much and any of my references would tell you the same. I adapt quickly and learn quickly. I promise you that you will get one of kind care. It's hard to find that now a days as I was leaving my last job it was more so who could be buddy buddy with the boss that got promoted or got their voice heard. I will always fight for what is right and make sure my resident/patient was heard. Again you will not regret your decision when I am taking care of your loved one. They end my being my loved one. Thank you for the opportunity.

I became a Home Health aide in 2008 when my mother and I decided to move my father out of the rest home and back into our family home. We provided 24 hour care in our home to my father who had suffered a stroke and was in a wheel chair for over 3 years. Since his passing I have worked for several other clients requiring many different levels of care in all stages of living. Letters of reference are available upon request.
