COPD Caregivers in Dover - 7 caregivers found

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.

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.

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.

I love being a caregiver because I have a purpose. I help others with daily activities and I develop a deep personal relationship with my patients. I love helping them and being a companion for them.

Graduated high school in 2017z I want to become a care giver because that's just something I've done starting at a young age. I take care of both my grandparents now and will continue to until I can't. I love being around people and having conversations I also like to help people so that's why I' think I'd be a could caregiver.

I am a great caregiver with many years experience. I'm the oldest in my family and I took care of household while parents worked. My degree is in Special Education and I taught for six years which gave me rich experience taking care of people. When my grandma got sick I was responsible for her care. Now I take care of things for my parents. My dad has cancer and I help them out with whatever they need. I am active at church, belong to a sisters group and volunteer in my community. I am a great companion. Can play many games, love jigsaw puzzles. I enjoy watching movies, cooking, and conversation. I have lived in Lone Jack for 20 years.
