COPD Caregivers in Coinjock - 16 caregivers found

Caregivers are superheroes in disguise. It is rewarding work.

My background and how I became who I am today. I was a preschool teacher for 14 years with the same school. St Peters Episcopal Day School. Which I loved doing, In the month of October 2016 my dad who is retired Navy 22 yrs and retired NewportNews shipbuilding 27 yrs was diagnosed with advanced progressed ALS Lou Gherings disease. After being diagnosed he went bed-bound in two months. My mom had to retire also. I quit my job and I took such good care of my dad. I have references of the doctors and nurses that came to our home and asked if I was a nurse. I keped everything organized and neat and clean I educated my self and learned so much. My dad was a complicated patient. As the ALS progressed so fast he required a non invasive ventilator to help him breath, he had a peg tube "G"tube for food and water because he could not swallow safely , a chronic Foley catheter also a nephrostomy tube coming to drain urine from his kidney. I am very proud for the work that I did for caring for my dad. I also have lots of wound care experience. I enjoyed taking care of my dad, that when he did pass away Sept 2 2018 that I got my certification to care for the elderly and critically ill paitents. I flew through school because I had already taken care of the worst for two years. I enjoy caring for him so much that he has enlightened me on a whole new career path. My rate for pay is negotiable.

Being the oldest on both sides of the family I have a lot of younger siblings that I used to always take care of . And it had its battles but I've grown to love doing it , which led me to helping the elderly . Also my aunt is a RN . So she played a part in wanting me to do nursing . What I love most about being a caregiver is seeing the smiles on residents faces when you talk to them or ask them questions about their life growing up . I've got alot of really cool answers and learned alot . My personal achievement im proud of was becoming a caregiver . I mean it speaks for itself.

I'm a very compassionate individual with a great personality and calm spirit. My current patients/clients would describe me as "part of the family." Helping people has always been a passion of mines and this field gives me a sense of fulfillment. If given the opportunity I will provide the best of care and love to your family member and will ensure that whatever I can offer by way of helping to give means to a better life I will deliver.

I just love take care of people . Been around people and taken care of them Got my high school diploma and soon go get my degree to be in home nurse

I love to work with, and care for the elderly. They need compassionate people to help them in their time of need. I gave alot of patience, and that's one if the most important things to them. I love to cook, and clean, and they just sometimes want someone to talk to them, and listen to their stories, and I'm that person. I worked for a Surgeon for over 20 years, and have experience in the medical field. I'm a very hard worker, and would love to work for the elderly, it makes me feel good to help them, and hope to make a difference in their life. We're all going to be there someday, and would hope that someone will give back to me in my time of need.

I became a caregiver years ago. First doing daycare in my home. Then taking care of my terminally ill husband. Next I ran into a legally blind friend that I cared for until he passed. Found I enjoyed the work and that it was very rewarding. It brings me great joy to be with someone and help them through their golden days to the end.

Salutations, My name Is Shauna Renae I have been a CNA for 12 years . I love my field of work I have learned so much and am still learning. I was in love with my Grandparents they were my best friends I think that is why I have such a soft spot for geriatrics. I love being able to help others. I am a loving compassionate empathetic person willing and able to complete tasks set before me.

Im a positive outgoing person and full of energy maybe to much. That's one of the reasons why I feel I can make a difference in others lives. I have enough positivity and energy to share with everyone. While being in highschool I took a nursing class which allowed me to volunteer at the nursing home near my school which was amazing to me ! Everyone said I loved it way more than I should but they don't get to see the most amazing things that come from helping others! I also went to a elementary school that was down the road from my school which allowed me to volunteer with special education and pre development with pre schoolers. That also was so amazing im so lucky I had the chance to do that and or be allowed. So with all that I decided to go to Tide Water Community college in Virginia Beach and get my CNA. Which was the best choice I ever made. I will be finished by October 31 or November 10 we're waiting for an evaluator to pick up our testing date. While taking this class I have been doing clinicals at a nursing home near the school. I wasn't there long and after two days I had already fallen in love with all the residents. I love helping people and Its something that comes naturally to me. I love how they become family and to me it's helping me learn how to appreciate the little things in life. You also meet amazing people that having amazing story's. So I hope that you take me in to consideration because I promise I'll treat your family like it's my own.
