Im funny Im out going Im talkative Im caring

Im compassionate, patient, trusty and a upbeat person. I took care of my grandparents and I saw how much it meant to them. Meeting new people and helping them. Making it through life.

I think the traits that make me a good candidate for caregiver are that I am empathetic to the client's situation, understanding that I am their to assist the client' in achieving their goals, and I'm an active listener and truly try to get a view of the entire situation going on. I have worked with many different populations with stronger emphases in mental health, developmental disabilities, and addiction and recovery. I have worked with clientele as young as 18 and as old as 90, so I am rather comfortable working with any age group.

I'm compassionate and always willing to help. I love helping others

I am a dependable, well organized, energetic, caring and loving person who has a passion for taking care of others. I have experience with the elderly mainly from caring for my own grandparents the last seven years of their lives. My grandfather suffered from Alzheimer's and dementia. My grandmother had suffered a stroke and had cancer. Caring for them is where my passion for taking care of the elderly began. But I have always had a passion for helping in general. I have cared for the mentally and physically disabled as well. I have my associates degree in Health and Human Services now and look forward to continuing to help others as I utilize my new knowledge.

I became a caregiver because I believe we all deserve quality care in times of sickness and end of life. I have been a licensed care giver since 2006 but my first job in health was in 1999. I am CPR certified and I currently have an EMT license as well as a CNA. I am experienced in almost all area of care. I would love to take care of your loved one in your home.

Trusted Certified Caregiver 20+ years of experience

I have always found myself happiest when in service of others. I served in the USMC 2001-2005, and after an Honorable Discharge, I have worked with several Emergency Medical Providers, to include Hospital and Fire Departments. I am well versed with Emergency procedures, but also the finer, personable and more gentle aspects of health care. I am very outgoing, and can strike up conversation with all ages in a respectful manner. In my 10+ years in an ambulance, I have found that easing ones worries with reassurance, and joyful conversation is the best way to alleviate a lot stress...and stress is a major role player in many patient symptoms. I have a knack for feeling out the personality/background of a person, and adapting my actions and communication to have a more productive relationship. I am married with 4 beautiful children, and my Wife is also in the healthcare field. We go to a small town Church, and live in a somewhat rural area. I also have 7 years as a skilled tradesman, so I am no stranger to fixing/repairing small to large projects, if they were to be encountered. My experience as a Father and Firefighter has given me skills in the kitchen preparing meals of all kinds. I am capable of lifting and moving large people with proper/safe techniques. I can relax with the best of them (reading aloud, watching TV, board games, chatting), but am able to be active for long periods of time without fatigue. My wife and I have both been the "go-to" people in our family for our Elders, as we have played an active role in their care-taking during their final years. My experience in the Emergency setting has given me instinct to interpret peoples signs and symptoms before they turn dire. If anything were to happen while I am a caregiver, I know exactly what to do while awaiting additional help. I have never been reprimanded or fired from any job.

Being a caregiver for me is more of an assignment, of giving lots smiles, laughter and love. I'm a very happy person, who believes passionately that laughter cures the soul. I started in the health field in 1984, wasn't quit sure what was expected, but soon realized I have a passion for bring joy. Meeting new families, receiving positive energy from any situation. The knowledge I have is exceptional. My most proudest personal achievement has been to raise 4 beautiful and successful children. One of which went into the Navy and retired a Navy Nurse. I knew he was medical bond when I saw how attentive he was with the patients at the hospital where I worked when he was a young boy.

I am outgoing and happy. I try to look on the bright side of life. Being positive is important because we get caught up in negativity. I love helping people and feeling like I'm making a difference. That's why I enjoy what I do.
