Cardiovascular Disorders Caregivers in Kendalia - 43 caregivers found

I am a trustworthy and compassionate certified nurses assistant looking for work as a caregiver. I am a nurturer by nature, and enjoy being able to care for people that need my help. I have ample experience caring for elderly patients with dementia and stroke, as well as in a nursing home, and have cared for a wide variety of needs. I work at my best when I feel like I am part of a team or family. And I like to ingagage In patient's daily life needs above and beyond.

I was 15 years old and just started my freshman year of high school when I was placed in a class called Intergenerational Studies. For 2 hours each day I was taken to the nursing home called Golden Years there in Elgin, Tx. I started off just getting residents from their rooms to come and do activities with me. But it wasn't long and I was working side by side with CNAs, RNs, and at one point the DON had me shadow her for 2 weeks. I just got really interested and a few years after graduation and having my son, I pursued a CNA certification and was assigned the hospice hall and the "lockdown unit" which was occupied by the more violent patients and those with conditions such as Alzheimer's and/or parkinson's, as well as those with behavioral health conditions. I honestly just fell in love with everything about caring for the elderly. Even the hard and very emotional side of the care I provide is something I wouldn't want to stop doing. I would love to get my CNA back but just haven't attempted to do so since my husband passed in 2011. Since my high school days I have worked with all ages of people, from a 2 year old little princess to a 98 year old gentleman I referred to as Fred Astaire due to them looking like twins. He loved it and would smile so big when I walked in every day; and every day he would say "Good morning Ms. Judy (Garland). You feel like dancing the day away?" It's things like that for which I love my work. Please feel free to ask anything, I would love to tell everything now but there is just so much I've been blessed to have experienced with so many different people I'd never be done.

Lots of training

I am a passionate person who loves to help the elderly , I am very reliable and honest

I am careful, safe, organized and coordinated in transporting clients for their needs whether it is for picking up medications, getting them to and from their appointments, filling out forms, helping with their shopping, all personal care service for their daily living for and anytime they want some simple conversation and just not be alone. To give and share with clients, one must be compassionate and patient and have an understanding that those needing care would like for the caregiver to understand their needs. There happens to be an advantage to being a caregiver that can put themselves in the shoes and situation of those with the need. My joy is realized when the needs are filled and the cared for people are grateful and thankful. I want to give the care and experience the joy often. I have experienced this joy with my parents as I cared for them. Currently I am a part-time caregiver for various clients providing them all the assistance they may need. Professional and courteous, always on time. Administering medication and food through a gastric tube. Bathing and attending to other personal hygiene and grooming needs. Food preparation and feeding client, according to strict dietary requirements and procedures Cleaning and light housekeeping (client's laundry, dishwashing, cleaning spaces used by client and caregivers, cleaning therapy equipment) Assisting with therapies (cognitive, speech, occupational) and range-of-motion exercises, including manual transfers to and from bed to assist client with weight-bearing and balance exercises. General companionship and interaction with client (i.e. reading books, cognitive therapies). Driving client to and from appointments and activities in a client-provided wheelchair accessible van.

I am an EMT and have always loved taking care of people especially the elderly. I took care of my mother who had ALZ in a facility until she passed from Covid. I especially love taking care of end-of-life patients.

I am a very caring and happy person who loves to help people. I became a caregiver because my mother was ill and I took care of her till she went home to our heavenly father. I knew we needed to be sure she had the best care and that she wasn't alone. I take care of them like they are family. Seeing them thrive and happy is what I enjoy the most. Personal achievement is when you're their for them to tend to their own special needs. You have a bond with them and remember conversations when they wished they would recover and be independent again and no longer need us to care for them. This gives me joy to see them happy.

I've known I've wanted to work in healthcare since I was 14 years old. The summer of 7th grade my mom who was a caregiver too had one of her clients come spend a few weeks with us after she broke her hip. I was old enough to help then and in doing so I discovered my passion. I'm a certified Medical Assistant with 3 years experience and am currently enrolled in Devry University online working towards my associates degree in Health Information Technology.

I'm very outgoing. And I love helping others. And plus I love pets and kids too. And I grew up in the foster system and spent little time with my grandparents but they taught me to be loving and caring with everyone because alot of us don't have alot of family. We all need somebody. I have achieved successfully getting insured and bonded.

I am a licensed vocational nurse with 13 yrs experience in all areas of healthcare. I enjoy helping people and making a positive difference in people's lives. It is very rewarding.
