About Jennifer

I am a very compassionate and patient person. I am loving, kind , a great listener, and I have a love for older experienced adults. I am very detail oriented and organized. I believe that elderly people deserve to be treated with love, kindness, and respect, because they have been around for quite a while and they are wise beyond their years, they have a great amount of knowledge about life, and their stories are amazing and need to be heard by younger generations. The attraction to being a care giver came about when my Great aunt and Uncle decided that it was time for them to go to a retirement village because they could no longer stay home by themselves. My mother and I made sure they received the best care/treatment and were being well taken care of. I cared for both of my parents, my mom had heart surgery in 2014 and my dad's health really went down in 2017 so he was in the hospital and rehab for about 5 months. I helped with staying with him on the weekends to give my mom some breaks. This past August my mom had a hip replacement and I stayed with her for about 6 weeks, I totally took care of her. Helped with bathing, toileting, exercising, walker assistance and her leaning on me to be able to walk. I made all meals, dispersed both parents their meds, grocery shopped, ran errands, retrieved mail, and anything else that she needed or wanted me to do. I feel very passionate about this and I believe only certain people have the ability to work with the elderly. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is that I get to work with elderly adults ,hear their stories and I have the opportunity to have a one on one relationship with someone new, and I get to build a rapport with them and their families or their support system. A personal achievement I am proud of would be that when I take on a position or a job, no matter how large or small it may be, I ALWAYS do the job to the very best of my ability.

What makes me great, is the love, compassion, my loyalty to my clients and family. Everyone has a calling, a purpose in life. And for me is helping, giving and sharing with others. My biggest achievement is watching someone get their confident back and feeling that they are not in it by them selves. Sharing their smiles, laughter and even tears. Just to know they know someone really care.

$18.00/hour · Pearland, TX

I became a CNA because I love taking care of others. It gives me joy to make someone smile or to see them reach a goal. A personal achievement that I'm proud of is helping a client that was not able to use his left hand because his bones was cracked and right foot because his heel was chattered. I was able to help rehab him back to a functional arm and foot by using range of motion and different activities. A little about myself is that I'm 39 and have been working in this field for 18 years. I'm very goal oriented, patient, nurturing and dependable.
