Cancer Recovery Caregivers in Bladensburg - 13 caregivers found

Hi my name is Beatrice, i have been a nursing assistant for 7 years , i have worked as a personal nursing assistant and also worked at Assisted living facilities .Due to my love for nursing i am in the nursing school trying to achieve my goal of becoming a nurse .am very passionate, caring and reliable and always there to carevfor the elderly, sick or needy.

Welcoming you with warm wishes. Just wanted to share alittle about me. I'm 34 yrs old. I've worked since age 14yrs. My mom was a single mom raising 3 kids. I enjoyed working hard and I have always been a giving hearted person. I remember I used to get my paychecks an was so excited I was able to but my mom dinner from a days hard of work. I was first introduced to an entry level position in the State of Kansas as a Residential Trainer for people who face physical and mental challenges and I did that for 3 years. It was so rewarding. Very hard work but I have always been very open to learning new things and I enjoy challenges. If we stay in where were comfortable. The you limit yourself from learning and doing what you can to be the hands and feet for Gods kingdom. After doing that for 3 yrs I decided to get my nurses aide license and doing that for so many years has been such a wonderful opportunity. I absolutely love my elders and I AM THE VOICE WHO SPEAKS UP FOR THEM. I believe that there is way too many people shoved in a room with a facility that lacks sufficient staffing to give the residents attention to give them the essentials like a regular bath and hygiene and clothes put on. I've seen too much of the THE BAD AND THE UGLY in institutions and to me that's NO WAY for anyone to live or spend there retirement in. I love talking and sharing stories, praying, I enjoy providing exceptional care to all clients I come in contact. I'm very friendly. My passion in life is people going above and beyond the call of duty. I'm flexible and reliable as I dont have any kids. Just 3 sweet dogs. Goals I'm working towards and emails the Congress is to shut down institutions and create group homes with a maximum of 5 clients per 1 Nurses Aide Ratio because in the end it would save money on healthcare costs for our elders and reduce risk and injuries and could extend there life. https://www.facebook.com/HealingBeginsInTheHeart Blessings- Heather Sperry

I was a professional caregiver on and off since 1975. I am compassionate and well trained in caregiving. I enjoy spending time with those I care for and meeting their needs. I enjoy doing something I love and also being able to get paid for it. I have held awards for caregiver of the year from a job and promoted to head supervisor in a nursing home I worked in for many years.

I'm am hardworking and will to help out and do whatever your love ones needs are[?]

I became a caregiver because my mother was a nurse. She did home health care for years and she always talked about how much she loved it. When I started into this field it was in hospice care and I loved it. I loved being there with families and helping them through the very difficult times. I always spent more time than required so I could ensure that things were the best they could be considering the situation. I tend to be a fairly quite person at first but become chattery once I feel comfortable. I have always been that way but I have become better with age. I love helping people. And spending time just talking if that's all they would like.

I have been working in this field for over 15 years. I specialized in hospice and wounds. I have worked for many families and some great doctors. I have over 40 certifications, I am cpr/first aide certified, phlebotomist and vent trained. I love helping people and making their days brighter in any way I can.

I started as a Candy Striper when I was 12. I spent my life being told I was an old soul in a young body. Guess that's what draws seniors to me. There's nothing any more rewarding than watching your client smile and laugh! There's nothing anymore hurtful than not being able to help a client when you know and see their in pain or hurting. As we age and can no longer drive someone has to be the bad guy and take driving away. It's so hard to take that independence away from someone. I prefer to be the bad guy I'm not the love one. No need in the client being upset with his loved ones. I always tell them from now on you have a chauffeur. I believe you treat people the way you would want to be treated!! I'm in the process of get my Independent Provider Number through the Ohio Department of Medicaid. My background has been done twice in less than a year through the State of Ohio BCI.

My bubbly personality helps make the patients feel like they're getting care from someone who cares, I strive to be a smiling face for them everyday. I love being a caregiver because it gives me the ability to help where it is needed. Being a care giver gives me opportunities to meet new people and push myself to be better, everyday is a different day ! I take pride in the simple things like making the bed and cleaning the house perfectly, making sure the patient is clean with clean clothes on and smile on they're face .

Throughout my time junior year I worked in a nursing home and found myself having a deep connection to the elderly and hoping that I could better their lives in some way throughout my time. I would experience residents crying and sharing feelings of sadness, during these times I found myself deeply sympathetic and understanding and never felt frustrated or annoyed at these feelings. My personal achievement would be getting employee of the month, not from the work place, but from a long term resident who would pick workers who effected her. I enjoy the conversations I got to have with residents telling me stories of when they grew up, spending my lunch breaks with different residents, and getting to fill up bird feeders outside their windows.

Positive attitude. Willingness to help. Great people skills. Love the feeling of doing something good. One of the most emotionally rewarding jobs. Being the best mommy to my 4 boys!
