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.

I am an experienced caregiver and CMA.I enjoy Doing what I do.Being raised by my grandparents and having grown up around other families with mental and physical illnesses as well as getting to go to work with my stepmom,an LPN, I believe has given me the patience and compassion I have. I have worked in facilities before and feel home care is the best for individuals when possible. I love doing private care as it gives me more one on one with my clients. Facilities teach not to "get attached" and discourage bonding between residents/clients and staff and I don't see how that is possible if you truly have a heart. I believe it takes a heart to care for people.

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 completed my bachelors in SLP and have become interested in gaining experience with the geriatric population before beginning my externship in the spring. I have always been very fond of the older population since I was very close to and a caregiver for my grandmother as she went through her last years of life in home health care. I look forward to any opportunity to working with this population because I truly connect with them.
