COPD Caregivers in Artemus - 7 caregivers found

Hi my name is Shannon. I have 25 years experience as a caregiver. I believe it take a special person to be a caregiver. You have to be kind, compassionate, and be a trust worthy individual. I am always on time. I will care for your loved one like they are my own.

I feel like the traits that make me a good caregiver are that I am patient, honest, empathetic, and easy to get along with. I have been a caregiver most all of my life. I was adopted by my grandparents and grew up assisting to caregive for my grandmother, who was a stroke victim. As an adult, I have been a caregiver to multiple clients with varying degrees of both mental and physical disabilities. The thing I enjoy most about being a caregiver is the satisfaction of helping make a difference in the quality of lives for others. One personal achievement I am proud of is earning an Associate degree in Business Management, and graduating with honors.

I feel that the best traits of me that make me a good caregiver is the biggest one being I am a caring person, I am hardworking and I treat my residents/elderly with respect and as if they were my own family. I love to help people and make a difference in someone's day/life. I've got 5 years of nursing home experience under my belt. The most important thing I enjoy the most about being a caregiver is seeing someones progress improve, knowing I'm the one who has helped make that happen. Personal achievement I have made is being a mother and knowing my children are well taken care of and happy.

The main reason why I chose to become a caregiver is because I was raised by my great-grandparents, and someday when they can no longer give care to themselves, I wanted to have the training and experience to help them along in their time of need. I enjoy bonding with and getting to know the person(s) I take care of. I've found that making a connection helps the person(s) to feel more comfortable and at ease when receiving care.

I am a very loving and caring person I've always wanted to help elderly and be there for them talk to them Always got along with them they're sweet I have a water switch for the elderly and have always wanted to help others as much as I possibly can and honestly believe that's my calling in life

I'm a very outgoing compassionate understanding and patient person. I have trained in the alzheimer's unit when I was training for my certified Nurse Aide Certificate I've worked with multiple sclerosis patients I've been in hospice care and in-home private care. I'm a Christian woman and I absolutely believe in giving someone the best care possible and keeping them as comfortable as I possibly can.

My name is Eileen, I'm 52 years old. My dream was always to become a RN. I married right after graduating high school, had my first son the following year. My son Joshua was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at 3 months of age. He needed all my care no room for school unfourtantly. I became a CNA before his birth in 1982. I continued to work with skilled care residents. In 1993 I began working with MR and MI residents in a group home. I did obtain my certificate for what Illinois called Habilitation Aid. I moved from Illinois to Florida in 1999. I did register my CNA in Florida. I did some private care at first then I worked for Bay County hospital I cared for homosidal and suicidal patients. In 2006 my father took ill and my mother didn't feel she was capable of caring for Dad on her own and was checking into nursing homes. I had made a promise to both parents I would care for them when that time came. I moved to Tennessee to care for my Daddy in 2006. Dad lived for 3 more years. The plan was to go back to Florida with my mother, she couldn't leave. So we stayed here. Unfourtantly because of the plan of moving back to Florida,I never registered my CNA certificate with state of Tennessee. I worked hard at keeping my CNA current. Mom has rheumatoid arthritis and has had heart complications. But lives on her own and does very well. My middle son Matthew and his wife moved here also, and I am a very proud Grandmother of my grandson Noah. I find great satisfaction helping those who can no longer care for them selves. I am a very compassionate, loving person. I love to cook and bake. I'm very loyal. I have no police record. I have a clean driving record. I do look forward to meeting you. I think I have covered everything about me.
