COPD Caregivers in Placerville - 15 caregivers found

When I was young , being a help to others wa s very important to me. Witnessing suffering when I could make a difference was the reason for my choice to be a Medical Professional and I went to college to be a Registered Respiratory Therapist. I worked in the Heart Clinic at St Luke's Regional Medical Ctr in Boise Idaho, the Heart Transplant unit in Salt Lake City, Utah; and an LTAC Center in the San Francisco area for individuals who were difficult to wean off the ventilator and move on with their lives. A very rewarding history and it was a joy to see each patient go home with a new lease on life and move forward.

What makes me an excellent caregiver? I've spent many years working in hospitals and cancer patients, physicians offices, nursing homes, and private home care. The many teams I've worked with and amazing patients with so many varied needs have only strengthened my desire to care for others! I treat people as I would want to be treated...it really is that simple. Kindness, compassion, humor, experience, courage and strength are what I bring to every job.

I am caregiver at my core. I have a variety of experiences and extensive training from spending 8 years as a CNA, working in memory care, Skilled Nursing & doing private in home respite. I spent 14 years as a Social Worker after earning a Bachelors in the field. I then raised 4 kids while running a successful piano studio. In 2013 I went back to school & earned a degree as an Occupational Therapy Assistant which I feel combines my love of Caregiving with both my experiences as CNA & Social Worker. Home Health is stressful and crazy and I miss the relationship building. Looking for a different setting to apply my knowledge, skills and love of helping. I care deeply for my patients, enjoy building trust and enabling patients to have the best self determined quality of life possible! I'm patient, quiet natured and even keeled. I tend to be very empathetic and connect deeply with those I care for. In most cases, I feel those I care for enrich my life and give me back more than I give. I have learned much from those I've worked with and cared for. It's humbling and rewarding work.

I pay attention to detail and ensure I follow instructions correctly to give as much care, help, and hospitality to my patients/residents. I ensure they're at a good mood, try to put a smile on their face which is something they tend to look forward to on a daily basis. I am an open and energetic person that is willing to go above and beyond to meet my goals and daily tasks as best as I possibly can. I chose to be a care giver because I enjoy the thought of helping others rather than helping myself. It's always highly appreciated even if it's the smallest help I could offer just to ensure they're safe and comfortable. I'm personally proud of being able to put a smile on someone's face even when at their worst part of their day. It's the least I could do since laughter and smiling can aid in not only their mental state but as well as their physical state.
