Cancer Recovery Caregivers in Mapleton Depot - 14 caregivers found

I became a CNA in 1997 when my aunt was in a nursing home. I saw all the folks that needed love and care and thought I would give it a try. Well 2014 I am still a caregiver and can not imagine doing anything else. I have worked in Long Term Care, Home Health Agencies , Group Homes and private duty. My favorite being private duty with one on one care. I love helping people with their everyday needs and try to put some spice in their life by taking them out or offering fun activities in the home. I am willing to travel away from home, currently all my clients are in Centre County.

I am a caregiver with limited experience, however I bring empathy, dedication, and passion to every one of my positions in healthcare. I knew that I wanted to pursue a job in a health related field when I had seen my grandfather grow very ill due to a terminal cancer near the end of his life. I assisted with his care up until he had passed, which those experiences I am sure to never forget. I hope to bring the same amount of care and compassion to others who need it and to expand my career in healthcare while doing so.

Hello my name is Brittney. I am 25 Years old with a little boy names Liam he will 2 at the end of July. I feel like my personality traits/ expertise for being a great caregiver is that I have a big heart with everyone I care for my clients as they are my own family. I'm attracted to being a caregiver because I love helping people an making there life' s better. My one personal achievement I am proud of is working through the two years of covid and helping the patients.

Taking care of people and caring for people are two different things but I've always been intentional about both. I treat others the way I would want to be treated or how I would want someone to treat my loved ones. Growing up being raised by a family who took pride in helping others especially those who can't help themselves , giving back to the community , being selfless, seeing a need and being of service, and found more joy in simply being an humanitarian more than anything else, has really became apart of who I am. I believe in people maintaining their respect and dignity in all aspects of life, good and bad, and if I can help with that, then I will go above and beyond the call of duty to do so.

Hello, I am Brittany, and I have been doing caregiving for over 5 years now. I am passionate about my work, hardworking, and always ensuring I am going above and beyond to make my clients happy and comfortable. I am CPR certified, I also have my PCT(patient care tech certification)... which I obtained in high school by doing clinical in both a hospital and nursing home setting. I am experienced with the care I provide, and I am always upbeat and excited to get the job done in the best way possible. The best part about a job like caregiving is the impact I make on the clients life... not only in a professional way, but also growing a friendship along the way with them. To me, that is what makes being a caregiver 110% worth it.

At the very young age of eight years old, my grandfather was diagnosed with colon cancer. Unfortunately enough, the cancer spread throughout various parts of his body and he died very uncomfortably just 5 months later. Throughout the various hospital trips and treatments, I was always present. Nurses often joked and were surprised by the little girl who slept in the hospital bed with her dying grandfather for five months. My mom said she recalls me having a lack of concern for my own well being, and a great concern for helping my grandfather. I was applauded daily by doctors, nurses, caregivers, and friends for my care, compassion, and understanding at such a young age. Each day I saw new caregivers and nurses do their best, always smiling, to make my grandfather's passing as comfortable as possible. The day I watched my grandfather take his last breath, and as I watched the nurses and caregivers shed tears over a man they hardly knew, it occurred to me that I knew exactly what I wanted to do in life. I want to make a difference in the lives of sick patients and their families. I want to improve the quality of life for as many people as I possibly can while here on earth. There is no better feeling in this world than knowing you've made a difference in someone's life. That is why I chose to become a caregiver.
